World Book Day 2025 was, once again, a roaring success. This year, we chose to focus on information or non-fiction books as the inspiration for our dress-up and discussions. We thought about a variety of people, characters and animals who have inspired us to read about them. The range was fabulous - as was the enthusiasm with which the children spoke about who or what they had come dressed as. We had a real focus on developing oracy - the art of speaking - and the children really rose to the occasion! Throughout the day, we saw Queen Elizabeth II, Neil Armstrong, Tim Peake, Amelia Earhart, Bear Grylls, suffragettes, doctors, vets, geologists, adventurers, soldiers - and so many more - the sense of joy in school was palpable! 

As always, we were incredibly proud of the way the children engaged in the day; they loved moving to a different part of school to listen to a member of staff read to them, and the staff enjoyed this as much as the children!

Classes are currently finishing off decorating their doors with their chosen book theme - there is stiff competition and much competitive spirit! Watch out for more photos of class doors!

As always, we would like to say a big thank you to parents and carers - events like World Book Day are brought to life by the combined efforts of everyone involved - and the support we receive from parents is fabulous. Thank you!
