Book Week 2020
We are very pleased to announce that we will be hosting our Book Week from Monday 2 to Friday 6 March 2020. There will be lots of activities running over the week that will help your child develop a love of books, storytelling and reading. Here is what is happening over the week:
Drop Everything and Read
We will be holding a “Dear” – (Drop Everything and Read) – at 1.00pm every day when ‘EVERYONE’ in school has to read their own book brought in from home – we will ensure the children look after them in school!
Reading with Parents
We would welcome any parents who would be willing to come into school and read to small groups of children or if you are a writer we would love you to get involved too. If you are interested, please contact Mrs Bell.
Storytelling by our Teachers
All of our teachers will be swapping classes to tell stories to the children.
Partner Reading
Pupils will be reading to their Church partners and other children during the week. Throughout the week all the children will take the opportunity to “buddy read” – a really special time for younger and older children to read together.
Book Challenge
Each class will have a book bingo challenge for the month of March. You will be getting it on Friday 2 March. When you’ve completed it, bring it back into school and you can go into the prize draw. There will be a prize per class.
Dress up Day
On Friday 6 March we invite all children and staff to come into school dressed as your favourite book character or author, for a donation of £1. All money raised will be used towards purchasing new reading resources to boost our fabulous book collection across the school.
(Please make sure that you are warm and wear suitable shoes for playtime.)
There will be a prize for the most creative costume in each class.
Home Challenge
Write out your favourite poem and create a poster on A4 to put into a class Anthology. Try and learn it to read it out to your class.
Book Case Browse
The book cases will be in school throughout Book Week. The cases will be opened each morning from 8.45am from Tuesday 3 to Friday 6 March in the School Hall
Parents and accompanied children are welcome to come into school and browse each morning, BUT NOT TO BUY until your child’s class allocated day. Remember to bring your World Book Day token, to get £1.00 off your purchase.
Book Sale
