    It is important to celebrate books because they teach us so much and there are so many different types of books to choose from. There is a book for everyone to enjoy no matter what their favourite types of stories or interests are.
    My favourite books are Dork Diaries (Skating Sensation) as it is really funny and I enjoy funny books.
    The first speech bubble means that we can escape into the story of the book no matter where we are.
    The second speech bubble means that when we read we are exercising our brain and expanding our mind and this keeps our minds active and healthy. I am looking forward to the assembly on Monday!

    Year 6 think that it is important to celebrate books because it is a great distraction from mobile phones, ipads and gaming consoles! They can help you escape into another world for a while.
    We know that the more we read, the better our comprehension, writing and spelling skills will be and it is good to be engrossed in a book that you enjoy. Reading helps us when we are older. When we apply for jobs or if we ever have to sign anything important, we need to understand what we are signing for.
    There are so many different types of books in the world – it would be a very boring world without them!

    Mariyams favourite books are the ‘Harry Potter’ series. They are very detailed and Mariyam really likes the characters.
    Ambers favourite series are the ‘Dork Diary’ books because they are fun to read and not too formal. They are written in a diary format.
    Ethans favourite series of books is ‘Heroes of Olympus’ as they are funny and quite gruesome at times!
    Daniel Keirl likes the ‘Tom Gates’ series as they are humerous and fun.

    In the story in assembly, the witches wanted to cast a spell to make people like unhealthy food and stop eating the right things. One of the witches said part of the spell incorrectly and everything went wrong! The witches ended up in a small bottle and a boy drank the potion. He started to like unhealthy foods as the witches were inside him. Dr Fitton Helthie told the boy to eat healthy food to get rid of the badness in his stomach.

    Year 6 are really looking forward to World Book Day!

    Reuben said that books are important because they are good for you, Dylan said they are good to go to sleep to and Isaac felt you become more intelligent by reading books.

    We talked about our favorite books and Sebby said his was Super potato because it has a super hero in it, while Isaac likes Cat in the Hat because its funny. Jay said the book Angry Cookie is really good because it says ‘The End’ in the middle of the book, when really its not.

    We look forward being told about the story of the dark witches.

    Foundation 2 are very excited about World Book day.

    Year 1 are excited about celebrating World Book Day.
    We think it is important to celebrate books because we can learn facts and have fun enjoying reading books.
    Our Favourite book are
    ‘Snow White’ – Courtney
    ‘Beauty and the Beast’ – Elsie Rai
    Edward – ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’
    Elsie – ‘The Ice Monster’
    Charlie T – Spiderman
    Phoebe and Libby – ‘The Diary of a Wimpy Kid’
    Charlie R – ‘The Cat in the Hat’
    Ben B – ‘James and the Giant Peach’

    We talked about a book taking you to the place you are reading about. We also found out today all about The Great Fire of London and learnt lots and lots of new facts and loved this true story. This book made us think about what it must have been like for the people caught up in the fire in 1666.

    Sourface suggested that the witches mix all the potions to make people unhealthy and unhappy. The boy who found the potion drank it and it made him ill. Luckily Doctor Fitton-Helthie told everyone to eat fruit and vegetables to stay healthy. We are trying to eat more fruit and vegetables in year 1!!

    I think it’s important to celebrate books because you can share the books you like and enjoy with other people. Books allow you to calm down when stressed and relax you at bedtime. Books can take you anywhere into your imagination and it can paint a picture in your head. My favourite books are Dork Diaries, Tom Gates and David Walliams books.

  6. Matthew Russell says:

    My favourite book is The Cat in the Hat. I like it because it has funny parts that make me laugh like when Thing 1 and Thing 2 bump into everything and fly kites around the house. Books are good because they make your brain stronger.

  7. Mrs Arnold says:

    In Year 4 we thought about our favourite books. Children in the class said their favourite books were the following:

    Finley – Barry Loser books
    Ben, Elodie, Ajay – Harry Potter
    Isla – World’s Wosrst Children
    Daniel and Archie – David Walliams
    Joe – The Midnight Gang
    William and Ben – Tom Gates
    Jake – Secret Dinosaur
    Zach – The Number Devil

    In the story in assembly, there was a healthy town but some witches decided to make a potion to make people unhealthy and eat junk food. A boy came along and drank the potion and the witches were in the bottle. He ate and drank unhealthy food and everyone got told that the only way to cure it was to be healthy.

    Zeb has explained that when he reads it creates pictures in his mind and he feels as though he has fallen into the story.

    Jacob says that reading exercises your brain by teaching you new words, helps your writing and the more you use your brain the stronger it gets.

    On World Book Day we made chocolate cake by reading recipes and while we ate the chocolate cake we watched Michael Rosen tell us a story about Chocolate Cake.
    We also painted pictures of our favourite book characters – we love painting!

    We loved World Book Day!
