Dr Seuss

Std 3 & Dr Seuss

On Friday, 5 March, the children in Std 3 celebrated Dr Seuss’s birthday.

Theodor Seuss Geisel, better known by his pen name, Dr Seuss was a writer and cartoonist, who published over sixty books. He published his first children’s book, ‘And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street’ in 1937. Other books also written by Dr Seuss are, ‘Green Eggs and Ham, How the Grinch stole Christmas, The Lorax, The Cat in the Hat, Fox in Socks’ and many more.

The children came to school dressed up as their favourite characters from a Dr Seuss book of their choice. Some dressed up as Cat in the Hat, Thing 1 and Thing 2, Red and Blue fish, The Lorax, The Grinch and Fox in Socks.

Later in the day, the children had to rehearse a playscript on Fox in Socks and perform it to the class. They also had to make hats for the Cat in the Hat. Thereafter, they all went to the field, where they had a fashion show, which showcased their hats. It was an exciting and fun filled day, where the children learnt so much about Dr Seuss.
