\ Children’s Book Week – taking literacy outside
Children’s Book Week – taking literacy outside
13 July 2015
Sssssshhhhh – we’re reading! Last week it was
Children’s Book Week
, the annual celebration of books and reading for pleasure. The week is organised by
Book Trust
, the largest reading charity in the UK, and involves schools, libraries, children and parents across the country. Book Trust have developed some great ideas for schools to celebrate the week and to keep reading alive over the summer, like organising book swaps or
arranging a visit from an author or illustrator
.
In fact, we enjoyed last week so much we want to keep things going and have collected together some great ideas for you! You can use your imagination and some great curriculum-linked resources to transform your school’s outside space into an outdoor classroom. And of course you can rely on us to be there to help.
For instance, you could sit outside as a class and take it in turns to read sections of a favourite book using our wooden Storyteller Chair or
Circle Time Chair and Seats Set
– just £900 in July. Or relax on our comfy, hard-wearing outdoor
Bean Bag Sets
for small group work or guided reading. For schools or settings without any grass outside, this
Story Time Lawn
provides some soft ground-level seating for outdoor reading.
Or how about setting up an outdoor mark-making, art or design studio to create illustrations or new covers for your favourite books? Our Timber
Project Tables
and
Creativity Tables
are perfect for KS1, while younger children will love our
Poddely Mark Making Set
– with 25% off in July.
Maybe bring a famous book character to life with a model made from recycled or natural materials or create a stage to act out part of a book’s story. Our
Discovery Pits
have staging areas built in and there’s 20% off in July.
You could even use book stories as the starting point for physical literacy activities. This
Freestanding Balance Beam Trail
would make a great Bear Hunt while our
mini towers
make perfect fairy tale castles – all with 15% off in July.
From lesson plans to toolkits, workshops to guides, you can download school resources
here
.
We’re going to get back to our books now…
