WORLD BOOK DAY 24 April 2023

World Book Day was a day full of fun, laughter, and creative costumes where we celebrated our love of reading across the school. The day started with a parade where each year group displayed their amazing costumes and big smiles around the school to staff and parents.

During the day, each class participated in a variety of different activities within their classes. One whole school activity included designing a book bench where the winning bench will be painted and displayed in our outdoor area. It will then be used as a quiet reading space by all the students across the school. Additionally, we had tea parties in the hall where buddy classes had the opportunity to read and share their love of stories with one another.

A highlight of the day was the story stone hunt around the school grounds. The students enjoyed running around hunting for stones and then they had to guess the name of the book depicted on the stone. The day concluded with Drop Everything and Read (DEAR), where we welcomed parents into the classroom to read with the students.

I loved World Book Day! It was amazing seeing all the outfits and dressing up! I really enjoyed meeting new children at the Tea Party.

World Book Day this year was so much fun. I loved the parade because I got to dance around like a ballerina. The story stones were also lots of fun because they were hidden in many places; it was like searching for treasure. The tea parties were great as I enjoyed talking to the younger children and sharing stories with them.
