Successful World Book Day!

Well we finally managed to have our World Book Day.  A little later than planned due to my chicken pox but hey!

The children worked really hard to get everything organised, so that on the day we had: an African reading tent covering the wall bars, book stalls and quizzes for each age group in the school and everyone dressed up as a character from a book.  The children performed for each class (9 times!!!).  They did their African dance, read the African story they had written and some children had the opportunity to read their poems.  They then manned the stalls and sold the books and quizzes.

The day was a great success.  I was totally exhausted after climbing up and down the wall bars several times to put up fabric and art work!!  The children have raised in the region of £305 which will be going to Mary’s Meals in Malawi, to help feed children less fortunate than us.

 Well done to everyone involved.  I am really proud of your efforts.  We will be resurrecting the reading tent for the parents benefit on the 4th April.

Thanks again!

Chicken Pox!

The children have been working really hard to gear up for World Book Day.  They have organised quizzes, fancy dress, a book sale and various events in the reading tent.  Unfortunately disaster has struck and I, unfortunately, have contracted chicken pox.  This means I need to be off school for the week.

I am really sorry that our World Book Day will no longer take place on the 6th March but instead we will have a special South Park Book Day on the Thursday 13th March when I shall hopefully have returned to work.

Sorry to let everyone down but don’t forget that your hard work is not in vain and we will still be raising money for a very worthy cause.

Hello world!

Hello everyone.  This blog is for P6 at South Park Primary to explain how they getting along with their Rich Task project.  We are currently investigating Africa, with the view to writing our own African stories, poems and fact files, making African art and even organising an African World Book Day. 

The children will post here to let you know what they have been learning about and how they are getting along.  Please bear with us as this is our first venture into blogging.
