What an amazing World Book Day we had at Norton Infant School this year! It started off with an exciting visit from the Mad Hatter and Alice in Wonderland. They read us a story and invited us to a very special World Book Day Tea Party.



We were getting very excited waiting to enter the Tea Party…





We couldn’t believe our eyes when we entered! We were in Wonderland! The buns and drinks went down a treat. A huge thank you to FONCA for making this magical moment happen! It really was a highlight of our day.
















Back in the classroom the children looked at the work of Eric Carle, in particular we looked at the butterfly drawing from ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’. We spoke about how we can show accuracy when drawing and practiced looking carefully. We investigated the different lines Eric Carle used to create his butterfly. We then used watercolour pencils to add colour. The children produced some beautiful artwork…


Here are some inspirational messages that we discovered on Eric Carle’s website…

I think you will all agree that the children looked wonderful. Thank you for making such an effort with your costumes 🙂 It was a great day…
