Read For RNIB Day

On Friday 18th October, the staff and pupils of Kings Copse Primary School dressed up as their favourite book character and took part in a 'book themed' day to raise money for the RNIB.

 

There were cat's in hats, super heroes, pirates and princesses!

 

 

Even an Umpa-lumpa!!!

 

 

 

Natalie Hargreaves from the RNIB came to lead assembly. She told us all about the important work that the RNIB do for blind and visually impaired people.

 

 

The children faced a range of reading and story linked activities through the day.

 

 

 Including a sponsored read raising money for the RNIB...

 



 

Being read a story by another teacher (i.e. not their own)

 

 

Transforming their classroom doors into a book cover...

 

 The Very Hungry Caterpillar...

Funny Bones...

 



 

Winnie the Pooh...

 

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory...

 



Mr Gum...

 



 

and George's Marvelous Medicine.

 

In the afternoon parents came into school to share a book with their child and some friends.

 



 

 

 

It was a very enjoyable day and to date has helped to raise over £500 for RNIB.

Thank you to all parents and pupils for their enthusiasm and generosity.
