Connect to Reading - Reading to Connect

On Monday  18 August it was the start of Book Week! On Tuesday our whole school dressed up as a book character they connected with because the theme was connect to reading.

What was the surprise???

We saw lots of different characters like Captain Underpants, Cat in the Hat, Iron Man, Thin 1 and Thing 2. Mrs Love dressed up as a witch from 'Room on the Broom'.  We had a great day.
