World Book Day 2023

In school today the children have celebrated World Book Day. The children have come to school dressed as various book characters. They have had costumes from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, Georges Marvellous Medicine and BFG.

During literacy, the children read and listened to various character descriptions from Roald Dahl books. They used these descriptions to draw what they pictured the character looked like and then compared this to their friends pictures. The children discovered all our pictures were similar but not the same. This is because they all use their imagination whilst reading to picture the characters and events in our heads.

In the afternoon, the children used some scripts from ‘The Twits’ and ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ to take on a role. Some of them even played the part that they had dressed up as! The children focused on reading with expression, actions and ensuring they were facing the audience.
