On Friday 5th March, we celebrated World Book Day. This year, our theme was all about protecting the planet and the effects of plastic on the environment. To help raise awareness of this issue, the children decided to recycle and re-use materials and rubbish around their homes to make their own outfits. We were amazed by their designs and creations!
Inspired by the non-fiction book 'Protect the Planet' by Jess French, the children also wrote and delivered their own passionate speeches suggesting ways to reduce and re-use plastic waste. It was clear that the children had been honing their oracy skills, by making eye contact, speaking clearly and using appropriate physical gestures to deliver their points. Their arguments were thoughtful, well researched and persuasive.
Finally, we discussed books that we enjoy reading to escape, which seems particularly poignant during these challenging times, and the children enjoyed curling up in a cosy spot to read their own chosen books.
