πŸŒπŸ“š World Book Day Celebration at Our SchoolπŸŒπŸ“š

5th Mar 2026

Today, our school was bursting with colour, creativity, and a love of reading as we celebrated World Book Day! ✨

We began the morning with a costume parade πŸ‘—πŸ§™‍β™‚οΈπŸ›‘οΈ, where pupils and staff arrived dressed as their favourite book characters. The imagination on display was fantastic from classic storybook heroes to modern favourites!

Throughout the day, classes enjoyed shared reading sessions πŸ€πŸ“–. Older and younger pupils paired up to read together, sparking wonderful discussions and building excitement around stories. Everyone then gathered in the hall for a lively World Book Day Quiz 🧠. Teams worked brilliantly together, answering questions about authors, characters, and well‑known stories. 

A huge thank you to all pupils, families, and staff for the incredible effort and enthusiasm ❀️. World Book Day is all about celebrating the joy of reading and today, we truly brought our favourite stories to life! πŸŒˆπŸ“š
