To celebrate World Book Day children can bring in their favourite book to read to other children.

Please do not feel obliged to buy any books or costumes for the day. The children are expected to come to school in their normal uniform as we do not wish to put additional financial pressure on parents. However, if your child already has a favourite book character costume and wishes to come dressed up then they may do so.
World Book Tokens were issued last week, please check your child’s schoolbag.
School lunches have a special menu that day, please see the attached poster.
