Lastly, we will all come dressed as our favourite book characters to our Zoom calls on Wednesday. See what you can use from around your home to make a costume or mask, as many shops are still closed at the moment. Click here if you need some costume ideas. If you send a photo of yourself dressed in your costume to Sam in the office, you may get your photo in the yearbook at the end of the year. 

We hope you enjoy having fun with all things literacy next week!
