World Book Day 2026
We love celebrating World Book Day! This year we all dressed up in our pjs to remind us of the importance of sharing stories together at bedtime. Some year 3 children even made dens!
Our reading ambassadors judged a special window competition. Each class had to decorate their own window to reflect a story they have read in class this year. Well done to class 5HR – they won a £50 voucher to spend on books for their book corner.
We also greatly enjoyed reading across year groups with our friends in younger year groups and we even retold the story of “We’re Going on a Bear Hunt” as a whole school in assembly. Mr Hill made a fantastic bear!
Natalie, from Waterstones, bought a huge selection of £1 books for us to spend our book vouchers on. Our hall was turned into a shop – it was brilliant!
Children also enjoyed bringing in books from home to put into our “second hand book shop”.
In 2023, we celebrated World Book Day in 4 main ways:
1. We dressed up as our favourite characters.
2. We read with children across different year groups.
3. We bought in books to take part in a “Big Book Swap.”
4. We celebrated those children who had completed their own book shelves and gave out the first every reading raffle prizes.
Have a look at us all dressed up in our costumes…
Here we are reading with different children across the school…
Congratulations to Ivy (year 1), Daria (year 2), Tyson (year 3). Elizabeth (year 4), Shantay (year 5) and Zoe (year 6) who were the first winners of our reading raffle!
Our book swap was a brilliant success…
I swapped a My Little Pony book for the Accidental Father Christmas. It was fun because you got to give a book to someone else but you are getting a new one in return.
