Dear Parents/Carers,
We have great pleasure in announcing the date for this year’s Book Week:
Monday 27th February-Friday 2nd March.
A variety of activities have been organised throughout this week to build upon the
children’s love of books and reading.
These include:
 Scholastic book fair to purchase books for all ages, there will be two more
extra bookcases than last year!
 Storytellers will be visiting and performing for classes across the school
 On World Book Day (which is the Thursday of Book Week) everyone,
children and staff, are invited to dress up as a character from a book-just for
fun!
 Classes will pair up during the week (for example, Y6 and Y3) and spend time
reading to and listening to each other
There will also be a competition running, which is open from now until Thursday
23rd February. All children are encouraged to submit an entry and have the
opportunity to win a book voucher to spend at the book fair. The competition
details follow:
Children are being asked to design their own front cover for the book
which has been their core text this half term, using a variety of
materials. Go to town and think outside of the box (could you… use
leaves, bubble wrap, scraps of material, wool, recycle food packaging
etc). There will be one voucher allocated to each year group and a
sweet treat for every entry! Please stick to no larger than A3 size.
The core texts are as follows:
Nursery-The Naughty Bus
Reception- Aaaarrgghh! Spider!
Year 1- The Owl who was Afraid of the Dark
Year 2-Man on the Moon (A day in the life of Bob)
Year 3- Greek Myths and Legends
Year 4-Ice palace
Year 5- Under the Moon and Over the Sea: A collection of Caribbean poems
Year 6- The London Eye Mystery
Perhaps you can begin working on this over half term and it will then give you plenty
of time to get your design completed before the deadline date. We look forward to
receiving your entries.
Best wishes,
Miss Sanghara
