It’s Funny Friday!
Join us for a magical day in pyjamas! Today we are celebrating BookTrust’s Pyjamarama so that all children can experience the joy and wonder of bedtime stories. If you like, why not dress up in your PJs and take part in BookTrust’s online reading festival, full of fun story-time activities for the whole family. Children can look forward to a day of readings, draw-alongs and quizzes with some of the nation’s favorite authors and illustrators, all culminating in a bedtime story. So pop on your favourite PJs, onesie or comfy outfit and enjoy your day!
Here is the schedule for today – just pick out the things you would like to try at home.
It looks like a great line-up of activities. I especially like the sound of the drawing sessions and plenty of stories. Here is the link to the website to find out more about these activities.
There are also lots of other ideas for book-based activities – here are just a few. They can all be found on the Book Trust website here: Booktrust Pyjamarama activities
There are games, such as spot the difference, and masks to make too. (Don’t worry if you can’t print at home – just draw a rough outline on some card)
I like these ideas too – draw your own book cover. It could be your favourite book or you could make up your own ideas for a story. Again, you don’t have to print this out – just use a blank piece of paper or card.
Why not make a bookmark too – use any craft materials you can find at home, or use pens and pencils to decorate.
If you have any questions about the day – follow this link below.

Phonics: As it is Pyjamarama day today, the next phonics video and task will start again on Monday.
Finally: It’s tidy Friday – this song might help.
