World Book Day

Next Thursday is World Book Day and we have planned some lovely learning opportunities for the children of Minerva Primary School.

On Thursday 6 March, we would like to invite all Minerva Primary School Citizens (children and staff) to dress up as their favourite book characters. Please get as creative as you like (but wear sensible shoes suitable for school.) Dressing up is completely optional, and children can come in wearing their normal uniform if this is preferable.

In addition to dressing up, the following activities will take place during the school day:

Children will read with younger/older children in the school.
‘Drop Everything and Read’ – please make sure your child has their reading book in school.
Reading Den Design competition.

We are also fortunate that several volunteers from a local business will be coming in to read with the children.

Finally, we invite you to enter a paper plate decoration competition. Paper plates will be handed out today (Thursday 27 February) for all children to take home. Please use the provided paper plate to design your favourite children’s book character. You can use examples below for your inspiration.
