Book Week - Room 8

Book week assembly in Week 5 is fast approaching. We are doing Escape to the farm. Some children have an animal costume or ears but for the rest, we will be making their masks at school. We have asked the children to wear all black if they can but if not, wear dark blue or grey or a colour that relates to the animal they are going to be. Ie White for a sheep, horse even cat, pink for a pig, brown for a horse, dog .... etc etc. Ask your child what they are going to be. If they can't remember, msg me. Can't wait. 
(If anyone has a pair of overalls that would fit Me (Steve Whitehead) I would love to borrow them for Friday Assembly, we also would love to borrow a rocking chair for the performance.)
