Sunday 26th February VHPSBook Day 2017! Key Information for children and parents
This VHPS Book Day, we want all children to dress up as their favourite character from a book or comic. Some ideas are below! Fancy Dress! We will have some awards and house points for the most amazing costumes!
In partnership with the Emirates Council for Books, we are planning to hold a mass book donation!Many children are not as fortunate as children here at Victory Heights, and do not have access to books. Our book donation sends books to these children! We only ask 3 things of the books that children donate: 1.) That they have parental permission. 2.) That the books are in good condition. 3.) Only story books can be accepted – no non-fiction please! We are aiming to reach at least 350 books, and a special display will be created around Reception for books to be dropped. The student council will be running this scheme, and will provide more information in due course. Book Donation!
We are also planning to get our very own books published, containing the children’s writing! FS – Letter to my mummy or daddy! KS1 – Letter to a character from a book! KS2 – Letter to my future self! This will take place in the morning of Book Day, but you can start thinking about what you might write now! VHPS Book of Letters!
Later in the morning of Book Day, children across the school will be reading to one another! Year 6 reading to FS1 children Year 5 reading to FS2 children Year 4 reading to Year 1 children Year 3 and Year 2 group reading Stacey Sudlow, our author mum extraordinaire, will also be around to read to FS2 children! Community Reading!
In the afternoon, Key Stage 1 and 2 children will be taking part in a House Event called the ‘Big Book Off’ challenge. This is made up of a number of creative reading and writing tasks. Children will be able to win points for their houses! ‘Big Book Off’Challenge!
Find yourself a costume. Think about what you might want to write in your letter (see your topic). Find a book that you wish to donate. Ask permission first! READ, READ, READ! Preparing forBook Day
