On Thursday last week, we had another fabulous time celebrating World Book Day in school with lots of lovely book related activities. We started the morning with a wonderful whole school assembly where we listened to this year's amazing, confident Reading Champions sharing their favourite book and why they love reading and where they love reading. This followed by some staff members sharing their favourite books!

During the day, each class met up with their 'buddies' from their buddy class to share books with each other - it was fantastic to see children enjoying this special time reading to each other for pleasure and sharing a love of books (and maybe a biscuit or two)!

Throughout the rest of the day, each class chose additional activities linked to WBD, which included:  A video message from Kit Brown author of 'How to shine at primary school', design a book token competition, reading letters from authors, an online 'bookie footy quiz' , BBC Teach live lessons online, writing 100 word stories and spotting stories in pictures. 

Thank you once again to all of our amazing children (supported by their parents/carers) and staff that dressed up as either a brilliant book character or came to school in their comfy PJs/slippers/onesies/dressing gowns - you wowed all of us and it was a great way to help celebrate this special day! Reading remains a high priority for us here at Wootton so remember that books are for every day (not just for World Book Day) because as Dr Suess once said, "The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more you learn, the more places you will go!" 📚✨
