Guest Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 Hello, Hope that this works! This is all very new to me- this is a newbie posting a messge on a forum As an NQT I need some advice on planning for a book week next week. I would be grateful for opinions and ideas, I could approach book week by focusing on a particular author or by looking at a range of books. I'm not sure which is best and it would be helpful to know if eoither has been successful for you- especially as I am being observed next week! Thanks for your help
Marion Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 hi and welcome to the forum How about asking the children to bring in their favourite book from home (a note to parents) you could make a picture graph of favourites? Circle time say which is their favourite and why? Retelling their favourite story. Painting a picture for the front cover. I'm sure you will get lots of helpful ideas
Guest Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 Welcome to the forum Katalina - here is the link to the 2006 booklet for Book Week that might help: http://www.booktrusted.co.uk/cbw/downloads/ncbwbooklet.pdf
Guest Wolfie Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 Hi Katalina - what age children are you working with?
Guest Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 Hi we have just done story week last week and we had lots of different people coming in to read storys. We had a policeman , the secretary ( she just loved telling the children a story), the caretaker and some of the grandparents. We all dressed up on friday as a character from a book and it was really well sopported and the children loved the day. the childrens favourite story of the week was the billy goats gruff and we have put up a lovely display of this story. hope all goes well
Guest Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 Thank you for your replies and help. In reply to your question I am teaching a reception class. I think I'll go with looking at a particular author and then look at the childrens favourite authors Would still be grateful of any further suggestions
Susan Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 Hi Katalina and welcome. If you are having a bookweek, isnt your school suggesting the activities? Ive made Bookmarks with children in Reception in bookweek. One year we typed our names on the computer and decorated the strips and I laminated then before they went home. You could put tassels on the bottom. If the children are doing any sort of recorded work remember to refer to them as the authors and illustrators. You could look at some alternative versions of traditional fairy tales and then make books of their own versions.
