Alice in Wonderland Day - Year 3
Wed 23 Oct 2019On Wednesday, year 3 celebrated their Alice in Wonderland day. All year 3 children and staff dressed up in their best Alice costumes, ranging from Mad Hatters to Tweedledum and Tweedledee. Throughout the day, the children made their own teacups, biscuits designed to look like playing cards and Cheshire cats made from paper plates. The day culminated in a Mad Hatters’ tea party, where the children showed their parents all the amazing work they have done this half term, as well as performing an Alice-themed musical performance and eating their biscuit creations.
