Book Character Day

Last Thursday we held our annual book character day and book fair. The kids came dressed as their favourite book character and some of the costumes were truly amazing. It's great fun to hear the kids exclaim..."I know who you are!"...in excitement and see the puzzlement on faces as they try to guess more obscure characters.

​Once again Page and Blackmore joined us in the village with a pop-up book store at the Alpine Lodge and after parading down the street to the Lodge the kids all got to browse all the fantastic books on offer. It truly was an amazing collection of books with something for everyone, sometimes more than one thing, I know I had to restrain myself!

Of course, Book Character Day is not all fun and games as once back at school the kids each got a chance to stand up and tell us about their character: Who they were; What book they were from; what happened to the character and why did they chose to dress as them? Nothing quite like putting kids on the spot!

There however can only be two winners for Book Character Day and this year they were:

Junior - Ginny Briggs as the witch from 'Room on the Broom' by Julia Donaldson
Senior - Jessica McCrostie as the horse Dandy from 'Dandy, The Mountain Pony' by Kelly Wilson

Congratulations to the winners and to the other amazing costumes, the competition gets tougher and tougher each year!
