World Book Day

Once again we celebrated a fantastic World Book Day here at Lordswood School.

We started the day with a Celebration Assembly, where our fabulous book character costumes were there for all to see. Even our school dog, Otis, joined in, dressed in a fabulous costume! I think Cinderella was possibly the most popular outfit this year………or maybe The Cat in the Hat………..All children had taken on board their class letter, so in Year 5 for example, many M’s could be seen: Matilda, Moaning Myrtle.

Our theme this year was traditional tales, as chosen by our Learning Ministry. The teachers built their lessons around ‘The Elves and the Shoemaker’. What a wealth of creativity could be seen, ranging from designing Elf shoes, to comic strips. Such great learning , inspired by a simple text!

Despite the fun and creativity, there were also quieter times. The children all shared in story time with their teachers and were treated to a delicious cup of hot chocolate (or juice!).

At the time of writing, the children had already raised nearly £700 for our amazing ‘World Book Day Readathon’. Usborne books are going to reward us with a super boat-load of amazing books for our children. Get reading everyone; we’re so grateful for your sponsorship support of this wonderful and worthwhile venture.

Obviously, the day would be nothing without the fantastic support of our families, coupled with our hardworking staff team: thank you so very much!

Happy World Book Day everyone!
