World Book Day 2019, by Mrs Fletcher
Date: 8th Mar 2019 @ 10:35am
The Bongos all look amazing in their costumes. This morning they have shared the opening pages of Alice Dent and The Incredible Germs by Gwen Lowe. They have looked at cartoon illustrations of germs and learnt how to draw cartoons in the style of the author/illustrator Calvin Innes and are now creating their own germ cartoon characters.
We have been to the library for a story session with Tom. The first story was called Morris the mankiest monster and when the children heard something disgusting they had to shout urrgh . There were lots of things in this book that were truly disgusting however we all enjoyed hearing the story.
I Say Ooh You Say Aah was the next story which we had to listen to carefully as it was full of instructions to follow. The children got to shout aah, shout underpants and pat their heads. It really was great fun.
Next we played a story telling game. Everyone had to stand up in a circle. , Tom started the game with a word and we all had to say a word. It was more great fun .
This afternoon the children have been busy creating bookmarks to use when they are reading for pleasure .
