Please help! Year 1 World Book Day book ideas

[Madallie]

I am a new Year 1 teacher and just wondered if anyone has any ideas of a good book I could use with my class on World Book Day.

I need to be able to come up with a variety of actvities based on the book, culminating in the children producing a piece of writing by the end.

Any ideas would be gratefully received (very)!

Log in here (just your e-mail address) www.worldbookday.com/resources/schools/ and access oodles of ideas. There's bound to be something here that fits a book you have.

I have a list of children's book titles ready to print & cut up for charades if you think your class would like that - pm me.

Not a teacher but my DC loved 'The Giant Jam Sandwich' (John Vernon Lord and verses by Janet Burroway) when they were YR & into Y1.

Thanks. Appreciate all the ideas.

Any others?

Green eggs and ham by dr Seuss

children in year one did The Gruffalo one year with their own Gruffalo descriptions as the written work.
This year reception is doing - Commotion in the Ocean and Year one - where the river meets the sea to tie in with environment week.
