World Book Day in 2A!

What a fantastic World Book Day we've had this year! 

We focused on 5 authors today. Some we were familliar with and others were new to us. The authors we looked at were Enid Blyton, Anthony Browne, Roald Dahl, Emily Gravett and Oliver Jeffers. Each group had a different author to focus on. We looked at the different stories, and characters from each. We then got to pass on our knowledge so the whole class could enjoy books by new authors. Some of us were glued to these new books and were keen to enjoy other books by the same author. 

In the afternoon, we got the chance to read with Year 4. We shared our favourite stories and what we enjoyed most. Some children even got to share books from their home language. Hugo and Hilary shared a book with Melody in Year 4! Mr Allaby, Miss Johnson, Mr Jenkins and Miss Wortley were very impressed and even tried to learn some of the language themsleves, when Melody translated. Lily treated us to a book in German. It was great to share!

Before home time, we listened to Michael Morpurgo read his new book. What a brilliant day! We have new authors and books added to our reading tree, and new favourites in our reading corner.
