Wayside School

If you click on this link you can read three Wayside School stories. We have read them before, but I think they are just as funny when you read them again!

The stories have been reorganised so that you can read them as 'Reader's Theatre'. Reader's Theatre is a dramatic presentation of a book in script form. You don't need to worry about learning your lines or using props, instead you just try to read it with as much expression and gestures as you can to make it come to life.
You might like to try one of these stories as reader's theatre with your family, or with other kids who live nearby.
I would love some of you to present your reader's theatre to the class next week.

I know that some of you have been getting up early to watch Wayside School on tv. Here is a link to the start of the Wayside School Movie. What are your thoughts on seeing the characters and the school? Is it how you imagined it to be? Sometimes the pictures we have in our heads of people/places in books can be very different to how artists portray them in cartoons/movies.
