Reading Week at School

This week at school was Reading Week, and reading and storytelling, and poetry of all kinds was encouraged and enjoyed. Kids were asked to bring in their favourite books to share with their friends, there was "Poem in your pocket" day, and all kinds of other wonderful nonsense.
They also had a photo contest, where you were supposed to take in photos of yourself reading a book in an appropriate place. Mummy didn't find out about this till the night before, and Weechan insisted on a Thomas book, so ours was difficult to make "appropriate", but in the spirit of "reading by myself is all still a bit above my head" we entered these shots! Poor, perhaps, but with 10 minutes to take and print it, as good as it gets!


On Friday, the kids had to dress up as their favourite book character and take the book. Mummy did her best to dissuade M from Disney, but in the end had to capitulate to "but this IS my favourite book!" - which it actually is these days, sadly enough. In the spirit of making an effort, we dress Lady up as Minnie's dog Fifi, who also appears in the book. This effort earned Weechan a place at the "only people in costume can come " Tea Party in the library at lunchtime, so it was all worth it!
Reading Week - What a good idea!
