Dear Parents,
What a World Book Week we have had at school! It has been a truly fantastic week, filled with enthusiasm, creativity, and a shared love for reading.
Throughout the week, we have seen an incredible level of participation from everyone. The short story competition alone received around 80 entries, showcasing the impressive writing talents of our young authors. It has been fantastic to see such an amazing response from our children, and the care, attention and hard work and effort that had gone into them was brilliant. A huge well done to everyone who put the effort in to entering a story of their own!
Our pupils’ enthusiasm for reading was further fueled by visits from real-life authors and storytellers this week. These sessions were not only informative but also inspiring, as the authors shared their experiences and insights into the world of writing. The children were captivated by their stories has hopefully left them with a renewed passion for books.
One of the highlights of the week was undoubtedly the character costume day. The creativity and effort put into the costumes were truly remarkable. From classic literary characters to modern-day heroes, the school was transformed into a vibrant parade of book-inspired outfits. It’s always a favourite day for me – any excuse for a bit of fancy dress!
Thank to everyone who has helped to make this year’s Book Week a success, and thank you to all you parents and carers for continuing the passion for books and reading at home!
Have a super weekend, everyone!
