We have lots of events in Book Week to inspire children with their reading and writing. As we have a theatre group coming in to present Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book on Tuesday we have chosen animals from this book or any books as the theme for dressing on World Book Day on Thursday 7th March. We would like to see some characters from the Jungle Book but think that lots of children have or could soon improvise the costume for an animal book character. If this is difficult but your child already has a costume of another book character this is quite acceptable. We have been having more dressing up days as children enjoy them, but we want you to be able to recycle or improvise costumes rather than wasting money, and to make it possible for every child to take part. Dressing up is entirely optional - there is no donation required and normal uniform that day is fine too.
