We had a fantastic time celebrating World Book Day in school! The day began with a special Stay and Read session, where parents were invited into the hall to enjoy breakfast refreshments and share a book with their children. It was wonderful to see families reading together and starting the day with a love of stories.

The children also took part in a creative competition, re-staging a book cover of their choice. We were so impressed with the effort, imagination and attention to detail shown in all the entries.

Throughout the day, classes enjoyed a range of book-themed activities. Children designed their own bookmarks and front covers, and some even wrote letters to well-known authors including Michael Rosen and Julia Donaldson. We also came together for a whole-school book quiz, which created lots of excitement and friendly competition.

In the afternoon, every child used their book token to choose a brand new book to take home and enjoy. Our infant children also took part in a fun book hunt on the school field, adding even more adventure to the day.

It was a truly enjoyable day, celebrating reading and sharing our love of books — a great time was had by all!
