Tiger Class special World Book Day plans – for Thursday 4th March

Since today is a special day, we are “off-timetable” and have planned different activities to celebrate World Book Day!

This year’s theme is “Share a Story”, so we have lots of opportunities for you to share a story you love and listen to lots of other people doing the same. Please see below our links, tasks, and suggested timetable for the day:

Please note that the whole point of the day is for it to be fun and for children to have a chance to enjoy their stories, so all suggestions below are optional and you are not expected to complete or submit any work – although I will love to receive any photos, as always.

Start your day by dressing up as a favourite character and choosing a book to share with the class, ready for our Zoom calls. Maybe also check out the World Book Day official song with MC Grammar: https://www.worldbookday.com/mc-grammar/

World Book Day

World Book Day

Next Thursday (4th March) is World Book Day. Although we can’t celebrate it as we usually do, we would still like to mark the occasion as it’s one of the children’s favourite days in our School calendar.

The first thing I would like you to do is to take a picture of your child reading in their favourite reading spot, so we can make a beautiful collage for our classroom when the children come back.

On the actual Day, we will only have book-themed activities and the children have been asked to bring a book to share with the rest with the class during the Zoom calls.

We will still dress up as a book character on the day, and it would be lovely for the children at home to do the same. Obviously, we are aware nobody is allowed to go out to shop for non-essential items, so please try and wear something you already have at home or get creative with outfits you can easily improvise. The character you choose to dress up as doesn’t have to be from the book you are sharing with the Class.

More details about the Day will be sent out closer to the date.
