World Book Day Costume Competition

COSTUME COMPETITION

The children had an opportunity to parade their costumes in a whole-school assembly. It was truly amazing to see such a display of the children’s creativity with many of the costumes home-made. We had characters from such celebrated books as J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series, Roald Dahl’s ‘Fantastic Mr Fox’ and ‘Matilda’. We had Cruella de Vil from ‘‘The Hundred and One Dalmatians’ not to mention many Gangsta Grannies and Grandpas from David Williams’ popular books. The children also showed their creativity in the choice of book characters. One child in Year 3 had transformed herself into the Mad Hatter’s tea party table from ‘Alice in Wonderland’ by Lewis Carroll and another had come as a very convincing bookworm! Puck from Shakespeare’s ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ also turned up.

Each class had the daunting task of selecting the best costumes which were awarded ‘Willy Wonka Golden Ticket’ style book vouchers. All the winners were invited to our Scholastic Book Fair and with great excitement they all exchanged their Golden Tickets for a book of their choice.
