Good morning everyone and welcome to 

World Book Day! 

I hope that we will have an enjoyable day ahead with many interactive opportunities!

Have you got a costume or mask ready for our whole school Zoom meeting at 9.30am and your favourite book or one you would recommend to a friend? Bring them to our whole school Zoom and to our Zoom this afternoon! Thank you!

Zoom details for the day...

Please head over to my blog where you will find a link for 

1)Our whole school Zoom at 9.30am

2)Our class invitation to meet author Nathan Bryon and illustrator Dapo Adeola at 10.30am. 

3)Our World Book Day/ Back to school Zoom at 2.30pm

Could we fit many more Zooms in?

We have lots of different books to choose from and to learn from;

• Story (fiction books)
• Information (non fiction books)
• Funny books
• Interactive books - like 'Where's Wally?'
• Books to help us in our lives; to solve problems, to help us to be more resilient and to help us to be happy. 

Here is an example of a book that helps us to be calm and to be mindful. I think this short activity is probably a great way to start our day. 

Your final read of this week's book

While you wait for our school Zoom you may like to have your final read of our books from this week. Follow the link below to find them...

Hopefully you will be able to read it with a good level of fluency, then give yourself the quiz from the back of the book!

You will hopefully remember that we warmed our book review brains up last week and so today I am asking you all to complete this book review format. There’s a good balance of illustrating, reviewing and writing a short description of the story.

If you are drooping from writing exhaustion you may like to video yourself reviewing your favourite book instead. 
It would be great if you could show us the book and perhaps talk about some of the following...

• What you like about it
• Your favourite part
• Your favourite character
• Show us your favourite illustration 
• Say who you think would enjoy it.
• Is it funny, exciting or sad and why
• How many stars or thumbs you would give it out of 5!
   
• I will share both written and video reviews on our class page and written reviews will also go into our class library to help children to choose their next book. 🙌🌟🤗
• *** You may need to pace yourself throughout the day to complete this because of our many Zooms! 

10.30am - You are probably ready for our Puffin virtual visit from Nathan Bryon and Dapo Adeola. The link is on my blog page so I'll hopefully meet you there!

***This event is open to other schools and so although the meeting is via zoom,  you will not be seen on the screen with your camera. You will just be watching the lesson. You will need a pencil and paper for a live draw-along!

Fancy a story before lunchtime? 

 Choose one of these I thought you might like...

Our afternoon activity

Making a book mark to celebrate world book day...

If you make it at home bring it into school on Monday and we will laminate it for you...

Join us for our World Book Day/ Back to school Beech class Zoom meeting at 2.30pm

 We hope to see there to round off what will have hopefully been an exciting and interesting day.

Please wear your costume/ mask if you have one  and bring  your favourite book along to share.

We will sing the book song we learnt earlier in the week. (I include a print out of the words below), Mrs Rogers will be reading a story and we will hold our raffle, which will include everyone on the Zoom, to win a copy of the poetry book, 'Twinkle, Twinkle Chocolate Bar.' This will be a shorter Zoom and should be finished by 3.00pm.
