World Book Day

We have had an absolutely magical day at school today, the children have amazed us with their costumes this year and have been so excited to take part in their World Book Day activities.

Thank you to the parents who were able to attend our parent share session this morning, the children loved having their grown-ups in school on this special day to celebrate reading with them. It was great to see so many children joining in with the excitement during assembly where they were able to show each other their costumes and share their favourite stories. The positivity and joy that was spread throughout the school today was absolutely wonderful and we are so proud of every child at Chesterton Primary School for their efforts today.

The children were set a challenge to decorate their classroom doors during the day and final judgements are being made right now! The winner will be shared and celebrated in assembly tomorrow morning! We are very excited to find out which year group will receive the winning prize.

The energy and enthusiasm for reading across the school was wonderful today. The library was buzzing with children reading at lunch time, children were sharing stories on the playground in the beautiful sunshine, Year 2 and Year 6 took part in a class partner reading activity and children in the younger year groups enjoyed searching for dragons and talked about what made them special and unique just like Marmaduke the very Different Dragon. Zog and the Flying Doctors made an aperance today to spread some magic during World Book Day and we were all very impressed with Miss Peet’s flying car!

We hope your children spend the evening talking to you about their World Book Day celebrations and we are excited to see which books they buy with their book tokens this week.

Thank you for your on-going support with reading. We are delighted to celebrate reading each and every day at Chesterton Primary School. ‘The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more than you learn, the more places you will go’. – Dr Seuss
