Today is World Book Day! We would like you to choose any of the provided activities to complete as well as choosing some from this list:
- Dress up as your favourite book character and send us a photo
- Make a den at home and read your favourite/current book
- Present a book review to your parents/siblings recommending your book, explaining why they should read it too
- Order your books from your favourite to least favourite
- Walk or look outside and capture the scene in your head. Could you think of a short story based on this scene? Think of your favourite genre and note some ideas down for your first best-selling novel!
- Research about your favourite author and find out why they became an author. Would you like to write your own story?
