Year 4 celebrated World Book Day with some fabulous costumes and comfy pyjamas today.
We then took some time to listen to one of Ronald Dahl’s Revolting Rhymes and enjoyed reading with adults from home.
Happy World Book Day
Year 3 had a lovely morning spending time sharing a story. Thank you to all the adults that came to join our reading café. A huge thank you to Mrs Hands for organising the whole event.
Well done to all of the children for the thought and effort that they put into their work for the class World Book Day competition. Mrs Hands thoroughly enjoyed reading and looking through all of the work and seeing the progress children have made. It was not an easy task to choose only one winner from each class. Mr Cooke announced the winners during Superstars Assembly and each winner was awarded with a £5 Amazon voucher and a book.
Nursery: Phoebe M
Reception: Fred R
Year 1: Sophia G
Year 2: Leo M
Year 3: Sophie W
Year 4: Joshua T
Year 5: Sena A

Below are some of the competition winners with their prizes:
Yesterday’s Masked Reader was Miss Quinn. Well done to the children who correctly worked this out.
A video of our final Masked Reader has been added below. Watch the video before using the clues to help you to try to work out which member of staff is reading.
Clues
1) This person is female and not married.
2) She is very proud of her Irish roots.
3) She supports children in Key Stage One.
Next week, you will find out who is behind today’s disguise. We hope that you have enjoyed The Masked Reader.
We spent World Book Day celebrating books and our ability to share stories. Our wonderful costumes, imagination and creativity was great to see and be able to share with one another.
We shared the book Supertato and focused on the character of the ‘Evil Pea’. We thought about all his evil plots and the mischief he got into throughout the story. We then worked to create a wanted poster to help find the Evil Pea, our brilliant pictures and fantastic description would definitely make it easier to find him. The winner will be announced in our Superstar Assembly on Friday, although Mrs Hands tells me it was very difficult to pick just one winner from all the fantastic wanted posters.
We strut our stuff down the catwalk as we showed off our amazing outfits to the rest of our class and shared the story that our character appears in. The children were brilliant and all cheered each other on which was lovely to see.
A fantastic World Book Day 2022!
In school today, we celebrated World Book Day. The aim of the day is to celebrate the joy and value of books and the art of reading. Children, and many staff members, attended school dressed as book characters or dressed in their pyjamas and it was very interesting to see the different costumes. Thank you, parents, for your efforts in getting costumes prepared/made. Below are photographs of what each year group and staff looked like. Can you work out the various characters?
Children put their World Book Day tokens towards the cost of books at the Usborne Book Fair which was held in the School Hall before and after school. The fayre was very successful and the sale of books totalled an amazing £749.72. This means that the school will receive £449.83 to spend on books which is fantastic! Thank you very much for supporting this.
Children within each year group competed against each other to draw a picture and/or complete a piece of writing. Most of the tasks were based on a book that the children had had read to them in class. It was apparent, from looking at all of the entries, that the children put a great deal of thought and effort into this work and it was not an easy task to choose only one winner from each class. Winners will be announced during tomorrow’s Superstars Assembly.
Below are a selection of entries from each year group.
The Masked Reader was back this year as part of our World Book Day celebrations. Each day, a video has been posted of a member of staff reading an extract from a children’s book. However, the staff member’s face and voice have been disguised. The children have thoroughly enjoyed trying to use the clues given to them to work out who is behind the disguise. Who will tomorrow’s final Masked Reader be?
This year, as with previous years, World Book Day at All Souls was a great success and I would like to thank all those involved – pupils, parents and staff – for your time, efforts and support. The joys and benefits of reading are enormous and we, at All Souls, hope to continue to encourage and enthuse all of our children with above of reading that will last well beyond World Book Day.
We’ve had a great time celebrating World Book Day in Year 4.
Thank you to all the children and families for their efforts in dressing up as favourite book characters – we were joined by heroes, villains and characters from many classic tales.
Through the day, we were challenged to create a 100 word story based on finding a mysterious key. Check back tomorrow to find out our winner and take a read of their piece of work.
Happy World Book Day!
Year 6 looked great dressed as their favourite book characters or in their cosy pyjamas.
We have really enjoyed listening to the Masked Readers every day and making our guesses as to whose faces are behind the masks.
This year our competition was to write a 100 word story. There were so many fabulous entries but our class winner was Finn who won a certificate, a book and a voucher to spend on Amazon. Well done, Finn!
Thank you to everyone who took part. Keep reading! 🙂
Year 2 had a lovely time for World Book Day today. We read the story of Stick Man and then wrote postcards pretending to be him for his family. The winner will be announced tomorrow!
Then we made some of our own stick men using sticks from outside!
I have also sent home library registration cards- please can I have these back in by next Thursday so I can take them to the library to be registered on Friday. We will be taking our first trip to the library to borrow a book on the 28th March.
Many thanks for your support!
