Alice in Wonderland Day (Friday, 27 November)
We are celebrating the 150th anniversary of the publication of Alice in Wonderland on Friday 27th November. We would love the children to dress up as characters from Alice. For example, Alice, The Mad Hatter, A Playing Card, The Queen of Hearts, the Cheshire Cat and Tweedledum and Tweedledee. The teachers have planned activities around a creative curriculum to celebrate the book and we are looking forward to the day.
