World Book Day

Thursday 05 March 2026

We had such a fun and busy World Book Day in Year 4! Many of the children loved coming to school dressed as their favourite book characters and it was wonderful to see so many creative costumes and to hear about the books that inspired them. Throughout the day, we took part in lots of exciting World Book Day activities to celebrate our love of reading.

One of the highlights was helping to write a whole school book together. We can’t wait to hear the finished story in Collective Worship tomorrow. Everyone shared ideas and worked hard to contribute their part. The children also created some fantastic artwork and an acrostic poem inspired by the story How to Be a Lion by Ed Vere, which will be displayed in the school library.

We were also lucky to enjoy hot chocolate and stories in the library before spending time with the Year 1 class sharing stories together. It was lovely to see the children recommending their favourite books to each other and talking about the characters they love and why.

It was a brilliant day full of stories, creativity and lots of enthusiasm for reading.  What a great way to celebrate the Year of Reading!

Help at home: read the next chapter of our class novel that will be sent home with your child tomorrow.
