Book Fair – 2nd – 9th October 2024
World Book Day – 6th March 2025
World Poetry Day – 21st March 2025
Our families enjoyed spending some time looking at the books at the Book Fair and buying new books for the children to enjoy at home.
On National Poetry Day, we were lucky enough to have Matt Goodfellow, a poet, come to visit our school and work with each class. We were all very excited for him to visit our school. You can follow him on Twitter at Poet@EarlyTrain.
World Book Day is a celebration of reading, authors, illustrators and books. It is a worldwide celebration of books and reading, marked by over 100 countries all over the world.
Last year we celebrated by asking children to dress up as their favourite book character and bring to school their favourite book. We had reading activities which took place throughout the day and there were prizes for the most original outfits. All children were given a voucher to exchange for a book.
Reception parents were invited into class to read with their child. Parents then had the opportunity to meet with Mrs Wilkinson to find out about our phonics scheme ‘Read Write inc’. During the meeting, parents were given a reading pack to help with their child’s reading and writing at home.
