World Book Day
7th March 2024
World Book Day is always so much fun, and this year seemed like the best one yet at Fressingfield Primary School. The children’s costumes were really quite fantastic: the teachers loved seeing some of their favourite characters from Roald Dahl, David Walliams, Beatrix Potter and JK Rowling’s books to name but a few. The photos will show just how much effort was put into each character.
We also enjoyed trying to guess what each spoon character was. Every child in the school was given a wooden spoon to transform into a favourite character. Try playing the game yourself: some of them are very obvious – in assembly when we tested the school, we all recognised Mr Bump, Harry Potter, Thing 1 and Thing 2 and Willy Wonka. But some were a little harder. Can you name all the characters in the examples in these pictures?
Some children also contributed new book covers to create a display in our library – thank you for those.
The morning was started by the school librarians, who shared with us the children’s task. They wanted all the children in the school to share their ideas for a revamped library. This included thinking about an overall theme (woodland, space, jungle and authors were some of the ideas shared), and also the type of furniture, carpeting, shelving and areas. Their designs include book nooks, story chairs, tables for group work, covered reading areas and many more.
The librarians will now collate the results and share them with the children before embarking on the redesign itself. We’re looking forward to it all.
