World Book Day in 5HC

Date: 15th Mar 2024 @ 2:09pm

Last week at Ravensbury, we celebrated World Book day. The staff in year 5 came in dressed as characters from our current text - Toro! Toro! It was lovely to see the childrne in costumes celebrating their favourite book characters and others who came dressed for a comfy day of reading.

We began the day by moving all the tables and chairs to the side of the room to make space for lots of arts and crafts! We made book characters from cardboard tubes, including an excellent superhero and cats. We then went downstairs to take part in a parent session of get comfy and read. Thank you to all the parents who joined us. We even saw some groups of chidlren reading to one another which was really heart warming to see.

We also visited year 1 to share some books with the younger children. 5HC always impresses me by their ability to think from the younger children's points of view. They are calm and welcoming and are very happy to read to little ones and engage them as best they can.

Many of the children began the day saying they don't enjoy reading but I think we might have been able to change their minds!
