Reading and writing is fun! And what better way to learn about the alphabet than to dress as a royal Kicking King or sparkly Water Witch?
Two terms of exploring the 26 letters of the alphabet were celebrated in style by St Francis College Grade 0 and 00 pupils when they spent a day in costume – each choosing their favourite Letterland character and wearing an outfit to match.
The playground was a swirl of colour, giggles and happy faces as Quarrelsome Queens marched about with zippy Zig Zag Zebras, while curious Clever Cats chased Robber Reds.
‘Our annual Letterland dress-up day is all about bringing letters to life – literally!’ said Grade 0 Teacher Eva Skelton.

Looks like the kids had a lot of fun while learning. It is so important to ensure that there is fun around learning. I am involved in the Cape Town Science Centre and one of our priorities is that people have fun while they learn about Science. We have more than 60000 learners a year coming to learn about and enjoy Science. Well done to the folk who got this initiative going
