Celebrating World Book Day

5th Mar 2026

Today we celebrated World Book Day in the most wonderful ways! Our classrooms were filled with creativity, colour and comfort as pupils and staff arrived dressed as their favourite book characters... and in cosy pyjamas too!

Throughout the day, children explored stories through a range of fun activities designed to spark imagination and build a love of reading. From shared storytelling to book-inspired crafts, it was a day full of joy, curiosity and book loving smiles.

A huge thank you to our amazing guest readers who joined us in class. Your time, enthusiasm and love for stories made the day even more special. We loved welcoming you into our school community!

Here’s to celebrating reading today and every day!
