The Book Blog

This year’s theme is the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party (from ‘Alice in Wonderland’) and everyone is invited to wear a hat. Your hat can be as crazy, wacky, funny, silly, small, big, wide, narrow or even plain!  

With this in mind, this year’s competition is asking who YOU would invite to your tea party?

The only rules are:

1. You must try to explain why you would invite this person/animal/creature

2. Please leave only your first name and your school initials (e.g. MB or SG or SC)

3. Be creative!

The closing date for the competition is the day before World Book Day-Wed 3rd March at 3.30pm. Winners will be announced during World Book Day.

Please leave your answers as a comment.

GOOD LUCK!

After last year’s success and fun during World Book Day 2009, we are planning to hold a similar event this year on Thursday 4th March 2010.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS YEAR’S WINNERS-KEITH (STRATHCONON) AND CAITLIN (MARYBANK)

Horrid Henry would like white chocolate bread with hard toffee butter and headless jelly babies, topped with hot white chocolate

This year’s main blog competition for World Book Day will be a little different! We would like you to think about a crazy, wacky, ‘out of the box’ style sandwich filling, which a character from any book you’ve read or heard about, might like to eat.

For example, Winnie the Witch might include cauldron-black bread, with drippings of goo, stuffed to the brim with 5 pairs of repulsively green frogs’ legs (she is very hungry, you see!). This would be ‘seasoned’ with a sprinkling of toe-nail clippings.

Now, if that doesn’t do something for your appetite, then we don’t know what would!

So…over to you now to give us your ideas. Leave them as a comment. The best/most disgusting/imaginative will be the winner….

GOOD LUCK

We are now putting together the final details on our plans to celebrate World Book Day 2009! This year’s event will take place at Marybank Primary on Thursday 5th March, between 10am and 2.30pm.

Please check back over the next few days to find out more details of how the day will unfold and to take part in this year’s competitions and games!

As World Book Day/Week gets nearer, we would like you to start thinking about which books you love.

We would like you to get together with an (adult) member of your family and write a joint book review. It can be a review of any book you like but it must be a combined effort! Please post your review as a ‘comment’.

We will judge the best book review during World Book Week (3rd-7th March 2008).

GOOD LUCK
