We had a great day celebrating World Book Day in school yesterday. Everyone got into the spirit of the day and enjoyed a range of activities, including a costume parade in assembly and visiting the Book Swap Stall.
Mrs Cope also organised for an award-winning author/illustrator, Catherine Rayner, to perform a live digital event to Key Stage 1. Catherine spoke about what it’s like to be an author and illustrator, shared some of her stories, as well as drawing live. We also had the legendary children’s poet and authorMichael Rosen for KS2 performing a live digital event in the afternoon. Michael performed some of his poems, spoke about the importance and joy of poetry and gave tips on how to start writing your own!
