Having a fresh hair style is important to both of men and women.Before making a hair style in salon maybe you can first buy a hair wig to wear and have a look if the hairstyle is fit for you or not.There are various types of hair wigs such as black male wigs which can be got from http://www.hairwigsall.com/categories/Men%27s-Wigs/ and other hair colors of hair wigs for people to choose.You can choose it according to your preference.
We celebrated WBD at our school and all the teachers dressed up too and acted out a chosen book in assembly. The children were very excited and learnt a great deal from the experience. We chose a story with lots of different characters so parents wouldn't find it difficult to find something suitable at the back of the wardrobe. Our WBD took lots of planning and hard work (and we were exhausted) so it's sad to read this thread and hear parents find it too much trouble when schools are working hard to promote literacy and a love of books. They are your kids after all.

I think a lot of parents on the thread do like the concept of World Book and Day and do their best to get behind it. It's just not all of us are that nimble with a thread and able to knock out a decent costume...and that makes us feel bad beside parents who manage to get their kids to school in super garb.


I don't think this thread is really anti-WBD - it's just letting off a bit of steam!

What your school did sounds wonderful, but I think you'll find that a lot of schools are not working hard to promote literacy and a love of books. A lot of schools are doing nothing at all except for telling the kids to dress up.


Your post is a bit insulting frankly, and I deleted my first response.

heh heh, I deleted my first response too.


Suggesting that if you don't buy into dressing up for World Book Day you mustn't care about literacy or instill a love of books in your children is a bit rich. And that's my 'mild' response. Your post would have been fine (in fact your school sounds like they did a great job with WBD) but your last sentence was pretty rude, to say the least.

Well good. My post was rather tongue in cheek but for teachers who work 7/11 for your children (and yes I arrive at work at 7 and still going at 10p.m sometimes only with a 10 minute break - in fact I've just finished my planning tonight, yes Saturday night at 11) it's demoralising that parents begrudge the time to cut out what could be perhaps just a paper mask for a once a year event and yet find the time to complain about it. So please have a heart and lay off the complaints about WBD.

    • DKH was two form entry, it is now one form entry to cope with the fact it was far more under subscribed than other schools in the area. They had actually combined year groups into single classes, 3/4 and 5/6.  When a school changes name, it’s usually because of a bad reputation perhaps the results.  The new name is dry with no history unlike its current name. It’s a very sketchy decision. It’s an expensive vanity project for someone.  What  will happen if the name change does not increase applications to the school?     
    • @first mate I assume Alice made a mistake, as she removed her reaction.  I was wondering about park wardens. As I said, there was one there last night, who was incredibly helpful and proactive. As well as bringing me to the police, he caught up with a young guy on a bike who'd earlier been the victim of an attempted theft by these kids and linked him up with the police too. But I do wonder, as I've only very occasionally seen him riding around, how many they have and what hours they patrol. I've no doubt they'd be a strong deterrent if they had a better presence. They were nowhere to be seen the first time around.  Update: I've just found this: https://services.southwark.gov.uk/community-safety/community-wardens The guy in the photo at the bottom of the page was the lovely warden of last night and I've just now remembered him telling me he's based in Burgess Park. Anyway, there needs to be more of them, as I rarely see one in Peckham.
