World Book Day

25 February 2021 (by admin)

On the 4th March it is World Book Day, and we have something fun and exciting planned across the school. Staff have taken to their masks to read an extract from their favourite children’s book – can you guess who is behind the mask? Each day we will release new videos of our Masked Readers and on Friday there will be their big reveal! 

To celebrate the day, we invite children both at home and school to come dressed up as either your favourite book character, or a wild and wacky outfit (in true The Masked Singer style!). 

On Thursday morning, we will be having a whole school Zoom call where we will be reminded of all the characters. Then in the afternoon, we will be having the big reveal to see if our guesses were correct. Join us at 9.30am and then again at 1.15pm. Links for these calls will be sent on the APP next week. 

We would love to hear you reading your favourite book too. Why not record yourself reading a short extract from a book, tweet us @MackieHill #TheMaskedReader, and let us try to guess what book you are reading!  

Thanks, Mrs Pearson
