Good morning Willow class and families. On Thursday this week it is World Book Day! This is always a great celebration in school and we will still be celebrating all this week virtually! On Thursday we will invite you dress up as your favourite book character and we will also invite you to wear your costume again for our zoom catch up on Friday! The teachers have performed a story for you which you will be able to view later in the week. Our Afternoon activities page is full this week of lots of World Book Day activities which we hope you will enjoy and share with us! I have read my favourite story below, so I hope you will enjoy it Mrs Ricketts and I have also described why we like our favourite books on the afternoon topic page so you can find out more.
