World Book Day 2022
This year's World Book Day theme was centred around the amazing vocabulary that we can learn from different books. We celebrated the day, using the text, 'The Word Collector' to stimulate many fantastic reading opportunities.
Gareth Baker- Author visit
We loved welcoming Gareth Baker to our school and hearing about his love of reading. He kicked started our day with an assembly for each phase and then spent some time carrying out reading workshops. It was great to see the children engaged, and we loved welcoming him back in the term to carry out an author sale. We can't wait to have him back.

World Book Day Celebrations 2020

We celebrated World Book Day through the theme of bedtime stories. We believe that reading has and should have the power to inspire and encourage the imagination. And what better way to enter a world of imagination than through an exciting bedtime story? Children were encouraged to come to school dressed in pyjamas and dressing gowns and we sparked children’s imaginations through reading: “How to Catch a Star” by Oliver Jeffers.
Parents came and joined in the celebrations full of fun filled reading activities.
Take a look at all the fun we got up to!
