It’s World Book Day.
Today, we are celebrating World book day which is a very important day dedicated to all the amazing books that are available for us to read. This day allows us to be able to share our love of reading and our different favourite books that may inspire others to also enjoy our favourite stories.
Today also gives us the chance to have fun dressing up as our favourite characters from these books so you can also dress up at home if you wanted to. It would be lovely if you could upload some photos to class dojo of you in your World book day costumes or a short written piece or video of you describing your favourite book.
Our afternoon lessons will be dedicated to celebrating World book day so we have some fun activities planned for you.
I look forward to seeing all your wonderful outfits and hearing about your favourite books.

Afternoon World book day lesson:
For World book day, we are studying the book ‘The day the pencils quit’ by Oliver Jeffers. The video of the book is available for you to listen to below.
Instead of studying this book as it is, we are going to be doing a slightly different activity this afternoon for year 5 and 6 that adds an exciting twist to this story.
Like the pencils in the story, the chairs in Stiperstones and Haughmond have had enough in our classroom’s today and decided to riot and leave our classrooms. They have written some very interesting letters to our class, detailing their reasons for leaving. You must read these letters carefully and try to encourage the chairs to come back to class by writing a persuasive reply to their letters.

I hope you have a lovely time completing our World book day activities.
