To think World Book Day needs a rethink.

I don't suppose your DGS is at the same school - I'm sure 7 year old DGD is looking forward to it.
It's just Y6 who are suffering from ennui!

Anja is your GS making his own costume - respect ?

I thought Anja you meant working on his costume not working in his costume, my error. I bet he looks great anyway.

Yes - I agree - respect!!

X post - I think he may have been working on his costume!!

Not actually sewing it NanKate but collecting, begging, borrowing (though hopefully not stealing) bit and bobs to cobble it together.

Yes ‘on’ ...the ‘i’ is next to the ‘o’ on the qwerty Keyboard.

I think Y6 are getting beyond 'dressing up'
But they do seem to love having the tokens and choosing the books!

Well done to him Anja.

When DGS was younger I always managed to sort out a costume for WBD for him but last year things changed and they were told if they wanted to dress up (which was optional) they could wear their favourite pyjamas. They also are asked to take a book to swop and they also get a token which can be exchanged in town for a new book. They are having some storytellers as well as character catwalk and they also have a Book Quiz for the older children. All-in-all it sounds like a good day

Used to hate it when my DC were little as I could never think of anything. And then when I was back teaching I found the teachers were supposed to dress up as well! Luckily each year group of teachers used to do a theme, so it was a joint project.

Just realised it's not until March 7th this year. And the next day is Red Nose day. Somebody needs to free our children from these constant financial demands.
