We are looking forward to celebrating all things bookish on Thursday 5th March (although, every day is a book day here at school)! In a change from previous years, we are not asking children to dress up; we have noted the potential expense and stress that dress-up days can involve for parents and would much rather any spare pennies were spent on a new book rather than on an outfit!

So instead, we would like children to bring a potato that they have decorated as a book character! There will be a prize for the best potato in each class and an overall winner for EYFS/KS1 and KS2.

If you are stuck for ideas, get googling! There are loads of amazing ideas to inspire new potato decorators.

We can’t wait to see them all displayed in school on Thursday 5th.
