We have two upcoming events that we are planning on celebrating in school.
World Book Day (Thursday 5th March)
For World Book Day, children are encouraged to come to school dress as character from their favourite (or any) book/story – and also bring along the book (if the have it); however, we appreciate that not all children will enjoy “dressing up”. If so, they can come in their own clothes. As this is not a charitable fundraising event, no donation are being requested.
On the day, the children’s classes will be mixed to form 5 new classes (with children from reception to Y6 in each class). The classes will then rotate around a variety of different book-themed activities throughout the day.
In the afternoon, we’d like to invite any parents and carers (and others) to come into school – in a similar way as previous years – to share some reading books or stories with your child or any others. This will be from 2:30pm until the end of the school day.
Comic Relief – “Red Nose Day” (Friday 20th March)
We are also having a fundraising day for Comic Relief. Children can come into school in their own clothes (with something red). We are requesting donations for this event as it will be raising money for Comic Relief; however, the amount is entirely up to you.
As part of the day, children can also bring in their own joke – written on piece of paper with their name on. The joke doesn’t have to be an original one. Teachers will be picking their top 20 jokes – which will be shared in assembly and the top joke (by volume of laughter it generates) winning a prize! For this day, we will be holding our assembly at 14:15 – which parents/carers (and others) are invited to join.
