World Book Week - March 2022

Instead of 'World Book Day', we chose to have a 'World Book Week' this year. The aim of the week was to celebrate books and authors whilst encouraging our children to discover the pleasure of reading. The whole school took part in various book and reading related activities across the week. Some of these activities included:

• book exploration sessions where the children were given time to look at a selection of new books for pleasure;
• listening to audio books whilst enjoying a hot chocolate;
• getting comfy in onesies/pyjamas and settling in the school hall for a whole school 'big read'; 
• getting competitive and designing a new book character based on oneself;
• coming to school dressed up as a word;
• having a whole school second-hand book sale;
• each key stage getting together at the end of the school day to unwrap and share a 'new' read.

A Visit to Waterstones Bookshop

The winners of the World Book Day design a character based on yourself competition were taken to Waterstones to choose a book as their prize. They also had the opportunity to select some new books to go into the school's reading scheme, as well as visiting the cafe for a cheeky hot chocolate. Delicious!
