On Thursday, we took part in World Book day and what a great day it was! Thank you for providing costumes as the children looked amazing and they all knew which character they had come dressed as. Staff looked fabulous too! There was a selection of activities which they took part in with other children from their house team based around a book. As always, there were so many positive comments about the way our older children looked after the younger ones.

   

Thank you to the PTA for organising the fabulous ‘Golden Ticket’ event! There was great excitement around the school and we have awarded prizes to three winners today. Congratulations to the winners so far:

Information

It is World Book Day on Thursday 7th March. Come dressed as a character (make sure you know who you are!) from your favourite book. You can bring the book to school too.

Children are going to be working in house teams on the day. This means that they will form a group with children from other classes who are in their house team and do an activity together. They return to their own classes at lunchtime and the end of the day.

Your child should have brought home their World Book Day token today. This can be redeemed in many places including some supermarkets.

The PTA will be selling ticket bars next week too – prizes will be one if you have one of the winning chocolate bars!
