World Book Day - March 4th 2021

Well, what a fantastic World Book Day! One that we will never forget, I'm sure.

A huge thank you to everyone who took part and really helped raise the profile of reading across the school. The children who are in school looked fantastic, and there was a real buzz around school. It was so fantastic to see your brilliant costumes at home when we did our live assemblies.

Well done everyone! We hope you had a really great day enjoying your favourite books.

To continue this love of reading, every class will be basing their learning for next week (WB 8th March) around Flood by Alvaro F Villa.

We are really excited about this week; it's going to be a fantastic week as we welcome every back to school.

Thank you for your support,

Mr Wade and Mrs Oliver
