Book Day Assembly

Amy's first Book Day Assembly

 

 

Dress down day at school for Book Week so you could choose to dress as one of your favourite book characters or a character from one of the books chosen for Book Week.  Windy Farm was one of the books chosen for Book Week so Amy went as a farmer!!  She was a little worried about her hat that we got from Beijing as she felt it smelt of the China sweat smell and true enough when we were there everything did have a funny smell.  Anyway it didn't smell but it was looking a bit bashed at the back from travelling as it is only paper it would do the purpose of the day though!!

There is also a reading challenge that starts in January where children have to read 12 books from a list of age related books.  Amy got the form home and she had completed it with the books she had read from our travels and from the library, well done Amy.  The prize is a certificate and name on a Reading Challenge honour's role!!!  Amy is thrilled with herself!!!

 

Looking good Farmer Anderson xx

 

Parents were allowed to attend the Book Week Assembly so Colin and I went along

 

It was amazing to see all the children from the school in the gymnasium around 700 children plus parents and teachers!!  It was really good the children lead most of the assembly, they had a parade where all the children went in a procession to show off their costumes by walking around the hall and up on stage, a play by the teachers and the littlies sang a book week song!

 

The teachers part of the assembly, it was funny and the play was based on Windy Farm book but based on the school rather than on a farm!!
