Authors are visiting, a readathon for charity, dressing up as a favorite literary character, short story writing competition, and parents are encouraged to come in and share their favorite childhood book. Hmm... I'm not sure Dulwich is ready for a mom sharing the genius of Stephen King to eight and ten year olds.
There's also an extreme reading photo competition. As soon as Sydney heard about this, she has been planning and plotting. Early on, Katie decided on geode themed picture. I wasn't involved at all. She and her sisters did the entire photo shoot. Syd, however, wanted parental involvement, props, makeup and costumes.
Year Three just finished studying the Tudors. I bought Showtime's version, just so I had some idea what they were learning. Sydney thought it would be cool to be one of King Henry's wives. I suggested she could be either Ann Boleyn or Catherine Howard and Sarah could be the executioner. They loved the idea and set out to find appropriate books and props for the photo. Yesterday, we walked around the neighborhood and found the perfect spot for a beheading. Ketchup squirted strategically on the neck, Syd played dead like nobody else, while Sarah embodied quite a creepy little killer.
Winning photos will be announced at the end of the month.
