World Book Day was a wonderful celebration of reading and personal interests. Thank you for all the effort you put into providing a costume for your child. The children looked fantastic and clearly enjoyed sharing their favourite characters and books with each other.
I have included some photos at the end of this blog, and I plan to use the whole-class photo in the end of year reports, so you will have an opportunity to see everyone’s wonderful costumes.
As well as a day filled with books, stories and reading, the children also had the opportunity to choose a book to take home. We held a whole-school book swap in the hall, where every child was able to choose a book. Thank you to those who were able to donate pre-loved books.
We also had our very own Year 3 Book Share, as my two children kindly went through their books at home and donated some that they thought the Year 3 children might enjoy. Any children who didn’t find a book during the hall swap were given first choice from our classroom selection. As a result, every child should have come home with at least one book that they like, with many children taking home two.
We also began rehearsals for our assembly today, with each child reading their lines. Tomorrow we will send their lines home (this will be their home learning) along with their spellings.
In addition to individual lines, there are also some class lines, which are clearly indicated on the scripts. Where your child has a suggested costume, please do not worry—we have almost everything the children will need. The only exception is the Roman costumes. The children who are playing Romans have assured me that they already have their costumes ready from our Year 3 Romans Day.
As part of the assembly, the children were asked who would like to showcase their growing skills on the recorder. I was delighted that a good group volunteered to play. Mrs Burgess will be sending a recorder home with these children, and it would be wonderful if they could practise playing London’s Burning twice a day. I hope to have a sheet ready for them as well, showing which notes to play, and this should come home over the weekend.
Learning to play an instrument is such a wonderful skill, and I am very proud that so many children wanted to share their playing with an audience.
Just a reminder that our assembly will take place on Friday 13th March at 9:30am.
This week the children have worked incredibly hard and should be very proud of themselves. I am really looking forward to sharing their assembly with you.
Best wishes,
Moose, Harold and the Purple Crayon
