DS2 needs to dress up as an 8 letter word

Yup. You read that right. For literacy day in a couple of weeks time.

My mind is filthy and this sort of shit pisses me right off so please help.

Each year group is dedicated to a word length. Year 3 - 6 letters, year 4 - 7 letters etc etc.

On the day children will try to make a sentence combing their word and the words of other children in the school. Prizes will be awarded for the 'best dressed word' and for the most creative sentence formed on the day.

Give. Me. Strength.

I only wish he was in Yr4 so could go as FUCKOFF.

I thought Easter bonnets and random camel costumes at Christmas were bad enough with DS1. Clearly primary school have upped the ante in the last ten years
🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Oops. Just noticed DS not DD! I mean, i’m all for getting rid of gender stereotypes, but i’m guessing he probably won’t want to go as a princess....

Elephant, squirrel, computer, aquarium, doughnut...

For really simple fancy dress I’ve bought some of that iron-on paper that goes in your printer. Then you can print out a picture of a doughnut/fish I am aquarium/whatever and iron it on a white T-shirt!

Hotelier. White shirt black trousers 😁

If his name is eight letters long you could always send him as himself 😉
Or skeleton? Werewolf? Plenty of Halloween costumes around this time of year.

Superman? On another note how can they combine their words for a sentence? Surely most pupils will dress up as nouns and so combining them wouldn't make sense?? Maybe I'm missing something...

Ordinary. He can just go as himself.

Wavingwhiledrowning · 01/10/2019 20:06

(Not that I am suggesting he is ordinary! Just that his outfit can be!!)
