World Book Day 2021
≈
World Book Day book tokens are in school and will be given out when we return in week beginning 8th March.
Today it is World Book Day. Usually, this would be a day in school, where we would dress up, read lots of different books to other classes, enjoy stories from lots of different authors and most of all have fun. But do not worry. Underneath there is a number of activities that you can take part in to celebrate the day. Choose one, two or a few and send your amazing work to our home learning email boxes.
Take part in the BBC Live lesson using the link below:

EYFS & KS1 Activities
Tick off a Reading Star each time you complete a reading task and have fun reaching all your stars! Send in your pictures to show us where you are reading and who you are reading to.
I wonder what you can find by reading a book? Can you find a witch? a frog? something that makes you laugh?
Paint, decorate and make the reading stars as glittery as you can, then add a picture of yourself in the middle. Bring them back into school with you on March 8th and we will add them to our class reading displays.
Play our Elmer Dice Game with a friend - have some number and colouring fun!
