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

Firework - all black with a couple of shiny
Pom poms
Generous - hand out Monopoly money
Luminous - covered in fairy lights

Or he could go as misspelt - in a white t shirt with lots of commonly misspelt words on.

OP I think we agree with you this is daft.

However there are some good ideas. I think all the boys will be football.

my faves for those here (sensible ones) are sprinter, eighties and strength. All of those would be easy to do and acceptable to wear.

Or you could just go with vibrator 😂😂

Vibrator and brownish are my faves, could you combine?

Reindeer? plenty of antler type things in the shops already for Christmas Hmm

He definitely needs to go as something other than a noun. Verbs, adjectives etc.

Flitwick - black gown and a wand

Vagabond - patched jacket and trousers, muddy face, collection of wallets from pickpocketing

Sorcerer - pointy hat, wand, stars/moons

Inventor - mad hair, white coat, any lab/science accessories you have

Botanist - tweed jacket, walking boots, notebook, pot plants

Wizzbangpop · 01/10/2019 22:05

Randomly - wear some really random clothes that you wouldn’t normally wear together
Think shorts and a Christmas jumper etc
Saturday - go in own clothes or something he does at the weekend

All well and good going as nouns but if the whole class does then no sentence is going to be formed

So many great ideas

We are doing CIN in our school and have said kids can dress up as whatever they want.

Easier for parents we thought than trying to come up with a costume at 10pm!!

PenguinLost · 01/10/2019 22:09

How about:

Famished - don't give him breakfast
Annoying - most kids can manage this
Freezing - no clothes at all?

Or, slightly more sensibly:

Champion - PE kit and a medal

CheerfulMuddler · 01/10/2019 22:10

Ignoring. Just go in his ordinary clothes.
