World Book Day – What a Week!

On Monday the teachers and children really enjoyed swapping classes, to read a books with children in other classes. Tuesday brought a school council lead assembly on books, authors and the importance of reading.  On Wednesday, the Stories from Africa Theatre workshop in the Hall was thoroughly enjoyed by the children in classes Reception T, Year 1H & T, Year 2H & T.  Thursday was the peak of the week with World Book Day as everyone took part in dressing up as favourite book characters, we are still collating the photos and so we them as they come in.

The book fair has been at school since Wednesday and will be in here until the 9th March so please pop in when you come to collect your children and have a browse of the books for sale. It’s been very busy, remember to bring cash, unfortunately we can’t take cash or the world book day vouchers.  PLEASE remember to use the book tokens the children have brought home, they can be used to order a book online or to get a book in a bookshop.

Please use the link here to find the nearest book stores where you can use your book tokens.
