World Book Day in Year 4.
we have absolutely loved World Book Week, but we have especially enjoyed World Book Day today.
When Year 4 entered the classroom today they were shocked to see a jungle, cave, sloths galore, planes that had crashed and fierce piranhas in the river!
The theme of our WBD and the whole week was based on the class novel that the children read back in Autumn Term - The Explorer by Katherine Randell.
The children loved the story and this is why we decided to go back to the Amazon Rainforest.
After taking part in the WBD quiz this morning, the children completed various challenges and whilst this was going on we had a ‘ Stop, Drop and Read’ session where children were picked to stop whatever they were doing and make their way into the cave to read and enjoy the biscuits and juice.
It was lovely to see the children using our Jungle area enthusiastically and sensibly, showing their love for reading.
In our PE session, the children had to go on a hunt for all of our past class novels using their orienteering skills. Again, they did this brilliantly with great big smiles on their faces.
Finally, to finish off the day we played ‘ Guess the Teacher ‘ where we shared slides with photos of a teacher reading but their faces were covered with their favourite books.
It was so much fun!
