World Book Day in Mrs Sturrock’s Class

What a fantastic day we have all had today celebrating World Book Day!

We have taken part in lots of exciting activities including a costume parade, a reading quiz, masked reader contest, book scavenger hunt, sketching activities to be like a real illustrator and lots of story times where we read some really funny books. We went to base camp and enjoyed a delicious cookie, while Mrs Sturrock read us a story about a crocodile, who at the end of our story, jumped out of the book and ran away! We used our imagination to find clues in our base camp area to find where the crocodile went next once he’d jumped out of the book. There were some great ideas.

The story boxes that were sent in with the children were super. The children enjoyed sharing them with the class.

Take a look at some of our photos from the day including photos of our amazing costumes too!

We hope you have enjoyed looking at our pictures. We are looking forward to next year’s World Book Day already! 😊

Story in a Box Competition

Wow, we are so thrilled to see so many wonderful competition entries for Story in a Box. All of the children who have taken part have worked really hard and we are proud of them all. The children will have the opportunity to share their box with their class on World Book Day. Competition winners will be announced on Thursday during our World Book day assembly.

Some children have said that they have left their entry at home – we have therefore extended the deadline until tomorrow morning.

Thank you for your continued support.
