Book Week 2022
MONDAY
Lots of children worked hard at home over the weekend to create their idea of what a favourite book character’s bedroom would look like. We were blessed with a glorious sunny morning for our parade to show off our creations to everyone else in the school.
Tuesday
We were very lucky to have the Lord Mayor of Canterbury come to visit us and tell us about some of the special mayoral regalia, before visiting the classes to share some special children’s books from his life.
After this, everyone got to visit our Pre-loved Book Sale to buy some books that were new to them, to take home.

Sound Effects Stories
As our theme has been ‘Bringing Books to Life’ for this book week, our younger classes were entertained and enthralled by stories told by the older 2 classes, which had been Brought to Life with some very creative sound effects.
WBD Book Characters
Once again, the children (and parents and carers...and staff) have been incredibly creative in devising and preparing their costumes of favourite book characters.
During the day, we also sang our fabulous World Book Day Song (lots of times)!
FRIDAY
Book Stickers
Name That Book
Book Stickers
Every day of Book Week we have all been wearing Book Chat labels that give everyone else some information about our reading preferences. These have been great in helping us get talking about the books we read and recommending these to other people.
We’ve Book Chatting about these areas:
This week, I am reading...
My favourite author is...
My favourite book is...
I enjoy reading books about...
I would recommend this book to other people...
Name That Book
All the children have searched around the school for clues in a trail to help them ‘Name That Book’! EYFS and KS1 had to identify untitled book covers and KS2 were guessing book titles using the opening paragraphs from well-known children’s books. All children who correctly guessed most of the titles received a certificate and were entered into a prize draw where 1 person in each year group won a £5 book voucher.
