Book Day

Written by: Katie

Book Day was another great day this year, a chance for all the children and teachers to dress up as a book character and bring their book along to share with the group. We were so impressed by the effort and imagination that went into creating outfits that the children felt a great sense of pride in.

With books placed on display as the children arrived, throughout the day we were able to read a selection of books and discuss the children’s favourite parts of the book, in turn increased children’s confidence talking in a group and really achieved that sense of belonging. We were lucky enough to get a much anticipated parade in before the rain came, each child holding their book with pride.

Our Preschool children and teachers love of books and literacy is shown daily in the many opportunities we embrace reading, sharing pictures and provocations throughout the curriculum. Book Day was a time to learn more about our children’s interests and of course the value books play in children’s lives both at home and at Preschool.
