World Book Day was a big success at Downham Feoffees Primary Academy (DFPA) yesterday and this special event saw a huge range of wonderful costumes from the children’s favourite books.
From Reception to Year 6, the school (which is part of Meridian Trust) had Matildas, Dumbledores, Christmasauruses and everything in between! The children delighted in explaining their clothes and accessories, and some lovely conversations occurred where children introduced others to new books and new ideas for things to read.
In classes, the event was celebrated by a range of activities. Year 6 Picasso class designed and wrote book recommendations for their favourite authors. Year 5 Da Vinci class took part in the official World Book Day Live Lesson, in which Michael Rosen explained the processes he goes through when creating a new story. Year 3 Hockney class drew maps and then created multiple different stories using the map to show how powerful they can be in storytelling. Taylor Shaw – the school’s catering company – joined forces with DFPA to provide the children with a ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’ themed lunch, which proved very popular.
At the end of World Book Day, during the whole school assembly, the School Council celebrated costumes that they thought were especially well thought-out – well done to everyone at Downham Feoffees Primary Academy!
