This week, RDT participated in World Book Day! We had a fantastic day filled with exciting stories and story-themed activities. The theme for this year was traditional tales, which fit into our learning for this half-term perfectly! We enjoyed sharing some traditional tales that we hadn’t heard before, exploring in our story village and writing our own stories throughout the day. We had some fantastic costumes in RDT with lots of effort put into them! Which characters can you spot?

We really enjoyed using our mark-making skills to create detailed drawings of our own characters and our favourite traditional tale characters. We then shared them as a class and talked about what we know about our characters. Here are some of our fantastic drawings!

How do you think Goldilocks might be feeling? Using what you know about the story, why might she be feeling this way?

The beautiful sun was shining on World Book Day and we all enjoyed being outdoors. We decided to have our Library session outside instead and really enjoyed sharing the Aladdin story together on the grassed seating. It was lots of fun to do our story session outside this week!

We all went home with a World Book Day token that we can use to buy one of the special World Book Day books. If you use your token, it would be wonderful to see a photo on Tapestry of you reading your new story. We had a super World Book Day in RDT!
