Creating A Mr Potato Head - Literacy ![](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/images/news/Screenshot_2025-03-18_15.49.53(1).png) 14 March 2025 ![](https://darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy.schudio.com/images/news/Screenshot_2025-03-18_15.49.53(1).png) For world book day this year the children were tasked with decorating a potato! In Nursery class we made Mr Potato heads using different facial features and accessories. The children used their knowledge of facial proportions to select and place the correct features on their potatoes. They then chose from a variety of accessories, shoes, bags, hats etc. The children did a fabulous job and their potatoes turned out amazing! Well done everyone, what a great way to celebrate world book day.
