We launched Book Week with a bang by inviting the Hobgoblin theatre company to perform ‘The greatest fairytale ever told’ to the whole school.
The story was based around ‘The Evil Queen is doing away with all of the handsome Princes and it is up to the 3 Little Pigs to stop her!’ This interactive show was enjoyed by all!
The teachers at Buttercup shared their favourite stories with the children. There was great excitement around the school as stories were told. It was wonderful to see the teachers spend time with the different year groups and share childhood favourites with them and prove they were once children too!
During book week in Early Years, the Hobgoblin theatre company came to perform a show on fairy tales. The children were very excited and knew every story they performed. We also had the children from year 5 and 6 come down and read stories to them . Mid week we had a pyjama day. The children came to school wearing their pyjamas and we had cookies and milk as we listened to our favourite stories. The children really enjoyed dressing up as their favourite character on Friday and the adults all joined in too. It was great fun and a great opportunity to promote reading and story telling!
We ended Book Week with a bang! The children and adults came to school dressed as characters from their favourite book. Thank you to all the parents, children and staff for making the day so much fun!
We arranged our very own book sale to encourage children to buy books of their choice. There was a variety of fiction and non fiction books to choose from. It was great to see the enthusiasm shown by the children, many went home with a book that they were interested in. We hope to continue with the book sale next year and make it bigger and better!
The children were encouraged to bring a used book from home that they have read and enjoyed to exchange with other members of their class. This way children got to take home a new book to read, but without paying for it!
