On World Book Day, the children got to dress up as their favourite book characters and have fun doing activities and quizzes.

There were trips to the library too, with Assistant Head Teacher, Mr Smith, taking the first class over.

Pupils Eddie, Youseff, Kuba, Millie and Charlie all "absolutely loved the library visit", and they all picked a book to take home.
