Happy World Book Day!

Today is ‘World Book Day’ and it looks a little different to normal. However, your book tokens are waiting at school for you to collect on Monday and can be redeemed at the supermarket or Petworth Bookshop. We are not dressing up today, however, we are taking part in a world book day challenge, set by MRC.

We are going to make models of monsters! Your model could be made of junk (look in the recycling bin) paper (think about what you know about paper engineering, folding and cutting paper and card) or any modelling material such as clay or play doh. If you want to make your own play doh it’s half a cup of water, half a cup of salt and a whole cup of flour, mix it together and colour it with food colour if you like.
Please make your monster as exciting and interesting as you can and send me a picture of it.

Next – Please share a story with someone. You could read it, they could eat it, or you could read to a toy or teddy. Check out this one, on the world book day website Share a story

There are lots of audiobooks available to listen to on the website, here Audiobooks

There are also some live story sessions which you can tune into. Find them here Live story sessions

Now – Choose an online lesson from a real life author! You can choose whichever you like but I would recommend Tom Fletcher as you are probably all familiar with his books Online Author Academy

Finally, if you feel like a reading superstar, please have a look at the reading game and challenges here Reading challenges

There are also lots of fun activities to choose here Activities

Finally…..have a think about these questions;

• Which has been the best book you have read, and why?
• Did you prefer The Pied Piper, or The Iron Man, as a class reader?
• Which is your favourite traditional tale?
• Can you retell “The Girl, the bear and the magic shoes” from memory?
• What is your parents favourite book?

Have a great day enjoying stories together,

Love
