Yes, it's that time of year again!  There are some good ideas here.

Please feel free to share your ideas (and I will pass them onto my friends who still have primary age children, hah!)

When is WBD?   I thought I'd left it behind at primary school, but the lower years have started to dress up a the high school.  It is a 'fancy dress' fundraising day on Monday, I have been told - but I've not seen a letter about it.  :/

March 7th Janey.
Our primary school has never bothered with it before but this year they are inviting the children to dress up. DD2 is going to dress up as Pippi Longstocking.

Thanks Elaine.

The school sent letters yesterday confirming that years 7-10 will be participating (yr 11 have GCSE exams on that day).

So ... any ideas please for a girl yr 7 and boy yr 9?

YD (year 2) is going (again) as Jenny Linski - a black cat with a red scarf and ice skates. ED (year 5) is going as Wendy from Peter Pan - pyjamas and a night dress I think.

At Emmas school they always give you books that the children have to choose from.  

This year tho they just said nursery rhyme or a traditional story.  Sorry Emmas going as Alice in Wonderland, because she has a dress!!  I wanted to create something from scratch but she wanted to go as Alice so nothing for me to do :sad:
