Wow what a super day we had at Suttons celebrating world book day! There were some sensational book characters wondering the corridors, from Horrid Henry to Tracey Beaker and even Willy Wonka. All the children made such an effort and looked fantastic! Even the Staff joined in and we had Mr Morell as Mr Twit and Miss Platt as Spiderman!
The day kick started with the parents coming into class and reading with their children. It was delightful to see so many parents in our classrooms. Throughout the day children became reading buddies and read with children in a different year group. Children were also encouraged to bring in their favourite book which was shared with the class. Each class then voted on a book to recommend during the world book day assembly.
The day finished with the world book day assembly which was filled with a fashion show, lots of singing and discussions about reading. Children shared their reading recommendations and teachers did too. Mr Jones even shared a book he has written himself entitled 'Chalk and Cheese'! After school the friends of Suttons hosted a film night with over 90 children attending. Children were able to watch sing along frozen or the Lego Movie. It was a great success and we would like to thank Friends for organising this event.
Overall it was a wonderful day with lots of enthusiasm about reading and books!
