We had an excellent time celebrating World Book Day on Thursday 2nd March. Children dressed up as either a book character or came to school wearing pyjamas.
There were several competitions running in the build-up to the day. Children were asked to take a photo of themselves reading in an extreme or unusual place. They also created some amazing 'books in a jar' where they created a scene from a story inside a jar. All of the entries that we received were amazing and so creative!
Throughout the day, Mr Whitehead rang a bell several times which indicated that everyone had to drop everything and read. Another activity that the whole school took part in was writing a whole-school story. This was based on the picture book 'You Choose' and it was great to see the amazing ideas that the children had and the obvious progression in writing from EYFS to KS2.
The day ended with a book swap where children brought in books they no longer wanted and were able to choose a new one to enjoy. There was even an adult stall so that parents and carers could choose their next read.
Well done to all of the children and adults who contributed to the events to celebrate World Book Day!
