Year 6 have had a great day, celebrating their love of reading during St Vincent’s Book Day!
Everyone in the class dressed up as their favourite book character and we started the day showing off our wonderful costumes at the whole school assembly.
Back in the classroom, we each had the chance to tell everyone about our book character and also to recommend books that we have enjoyed to other children in the class.
Next, we went to the hall to meet the amazing author, Tola Okogwu, who told us about how her British-Nigerian heritage has inspired her in her writing. She told us more about the writing, editing and publishing process, introduced us to some of her characters, read from one of her books and answered lots and lots of our questions. Lots of children are now keen to become authors and we can’t wait until it is their turn to read our class copy of one of the two books that Tola signed for us from her ‘Onyeka’ series.
Back in the classroom again, we had English activities in our classroom and in Year 5.
We ended the day with a whole school reading session. Some of us read independently, some with our siblings and some with our parents and grandparents. It was so lovely to have visitors to the classroom. Thank you for coming to read with us today.
Happy Book Day, everyone!
