We had a wonderful World Book Day in Year 1 and did lots of fun learning and making together! We started off the day showing off our costumes and telling our friends about our book characters. Then we spent time thinking about why reading is fun, including all of the different characters we get to meet and places we can travel to in our imaginations when we read a book.
Later in the morning, we began choosing objects out of a mixed box, one at a time, to use in our own made up stories. Each class created their own characters and settings and brought them to life in a story that the children decided upon. The children thought of some wonderful adjectives to describe and thoroughly enjoyed working as a team to make an exciting story! We also decorated our own front covers for the story that we made. We are going to be sharing each classes’ story with you when we have had a bit more time to work on illustrations and assemble our book! Look out for the upcoming blog posts!
We enjoyed getting creative in the afternoon and creating our own bookmarks. We had a lovely day all in all and can’t wait to see what next year’s World Book Day brings.
