On Thursday 5th March, the whole school celebrated World Book Day. Children were invited to dress up as their favourite book character and they enjoyed taking part in lots of book-based activities.

Children and some of the wider community all had the opportunity to visit our pre-loved book sale  which was a great success raising £341 for new books for the library. 

We also had some guests visiting us from Barclays Bank who ran a readathon with the KS2 children reading with over 200 children.

As many staff as possible dressed as Where's Wally and Mrs Emmerman organised a Where's Wally photo sheet so that the children could find all the Staff who were dressed as Wally.

Year 3 and Year 5 pupils had lots of fun during their visit to Waterstones bookstore in Lakeside and experienced the pleasure of being surrounded by books for the whole morning/afternoon. Waterstones staff read to the children, and they had the chance to browse the store and purchase a new book with their WBD voucher.

Year 6 had the opportunity to participate in some book-themed baking and thoroughly enjoyed tasting the results.

All the children and staff had a thoroughly enjoyable day, immersing themselves in an array of wonderful literature.
