RAINBOW BOOK WEEK
It’s Book Week in the Primary School! The theme this year is FOOD. This is a chance to explore the many ways in which writers have used all kinds of food in stories, poems, plays, newspaper articles, non-fiction books, and many more…
There will be a range of fun classroom activities focusing on food, as well as the following whole school events:
Ø Book Worms’ Reading Tent every playtime and lunchtime
Ø Book Buddies on Wednesday
Ø Dress Up Day on Friday: a chance to dress up as your favourite book character or book (sandwich board style usually works well)
Ø Whole school assembly on Friday, which includes a costume parade and announcements of the winners for each competition
The exciting competitions this year are:
1. Donate a Book: This is a chance to share with others the books you have enjoyed so much. The final count will be on Thursday, so don’t delay.
2. Writing competition: We are looking for a range of interesting writing with food as a central part. The judge this year is Mr. Edwards, who will announce the winners in each year group in Friday’s assembly. Please hand your entries to your class teacher. The closing date is Tuesday, 7th February.
3. Costume Parade: As part of Dress Up Day, everyone in costume will join the parade during assembly and automatically be entered in the competition. The person with the most creative costume in each year group will be chosen as winners.
Book Week is not just for children ─ parents and teachers can join in too. Everyone can get involved by reading non-fiction and other books to children, encouraging children to participate in the competitions, and joining in the costume parade. We hope everyone will enjoy the week. Happy reading! |
