A lovely day to come back to and a chance to celebrate all things literature! Today was kindly organised by Olivia from Pupil Council and our two hard working librarians; Archie & Marley, who all worked hard to come up with come activities to help us celebrate World Book Day! 

They ran a character design competition which saw Ivan and Paige come out on top! As well as that, we drew a raffle for anybody who manage to take an accelerated reading test today which had Steven take winning place. All three earned an extra book token!

In class, the younger pupils took part on a main character treasure hunt outside organised by Miss Douglas and the big class participated in the BBC Live Lesson on World Book Day. Upper school pupils also enjoyed a Chill n’ Read session in class where they cosied up with a book and some hot chocolate and biscuits – a huge part of the true joy of reading when you get to curl up with a good book! All pupils took part in the David Walliams Live Lesson later on in the day where the wee people enjoyed their hot chocolate and biscuits! 

Overall, an indulgent calm day was had by all and we hope all the pupils get to make use of their book tokens and feel a tiny bit more inspired by books and what comes with the joy of reading! I have already heard some whispers of pupils thinking about writing their own books or already in the throws of writing so can’t wait to read what they’ve come up with one day!
