Wow, what a fabulous week White Cliffs had celebrating all things books and reading. 

The children were busy taking part in various activities throughout the week including, online draw-a-longs with ‘One goose, two Moose,’ author and illustrator Nicola Slater and Kael Tudor, Book Speed Dating in KS2, A Footy Booky Quiz, Reading Rivers, a dress up day and a Book Bistro down in KS1.

 

Character Capers!

Well done to all children for their brilliant paper plate book character competition entries. The 5 winners received a £5 voucher to spend at the book fair.

 

Love is in the Air

During the week, we saw KS2 take a dip into the dating pool… dating books that is! They spent an afternoon speed book dating. Children filled in their special feedback forms, dating one book every 5 minutes to find their true reading match.
