Our reception class (Buzzy Bees) thoroughly enjoyed celebrating World Book Day in March.

The boys looked at 2 books – ‘The Pirates Next Door’ by Jonny Duddle and ‘I want my hat back’ by Jon Klassen.  The boys undertook a myriad of activities to celebrate, having listened to the story together:

The Pirates Next Door

  • Message in a bottle
  • Draw a pirate map
  • Make a pirate hat
  • Make a pirate pizza for lunch

I want my hat back

  • Create a story map, drawing the animals in the story
  • Do the World Book Day scavenger hunt
  • Use junk modelling to make hats for your toys
  • Colour and make a bookmark
  • Make bear cupcakes for your tea!

The boys did a brilliant job, and you can see their results below.
