It was wonderful to cut through all the glitz and costumery that is usually associated with World Book Day and focus on what the day is really about – Reading! The children got comfy in their pyjamas and onesies and read and talked about their favourite books. The school council gave a presentation in a special assembly about what they get out of reading and about some of their recommendations to different year groups. There was a ‘Masked Reader’ competition where children were amazed to find out just how convincing Mr Clarke’s Scottish accent is. The Book café idea worked really well and raised £310 towards new books for classrooms. We are planning a new event for September called ‘Bedtime Stories’ and you’ll hear more about that later on. Thank you for your support with this.
