Book Week
Book week is a focus on everything great about books and reading. It involves all the children in the school in various different activities such as paired reading, book reviews, listening to stories read by different people including our parents and carers and sharing stories we have written ourselves. It's also a week where an author or illustrator visits the school every day to inspire the children to deepen their love of reading. The activities can also be linked to writing, drama and speaking and listening. Please see below some examples of some of the authors who have visited Princess Frederica during Book Week.

World Book Day
From Harry Potter to Peter Pan, Billionaire Boy to Ursula, Mr Happy to The Queen, the children always arrive in the school playground for a day of celebrating when it comes to World Book Day. The day starts with all classes parading in the KS2 playground and showing off their creations in a playground filled with excitement and noise. Parents and carers marvel at the costumes. After this, the children come together in the main school hall and celebrate their favourite characters from a whole variety of books.
The Assembly
Excitement reaches boiling point as the school, as it does every year, piles into the main hall. With the children selected for a stage appearance based on their amazing outfits, and with anticipation building, the winners and runner-ups are announced. This is followed by an event of some kind. One year it was a quiz: Can you identify the book from just the first line of text. From Madeline to The Hungry Caterpillar, the children demonstrated their love of reading and books and with it. This brings the assembly to an end.
The rest of the day
Activities for the rest of the day include any number of activities. These could include reading in unusual places, paired reading with different year groups or parents sharing stories with the class. It could be writing a story or a letter to share with somebody else. The day always ends with a favourite story being shared with the class.
