World Book Day 2023

We had a great day last Thursday celebrating World Book Day. Many teachers and students dressed up as a character from one of their favourite books. By far, the most popular outfits were Matilda and Miss Trunchbull! There was one winning outfit selected in each class, and all of the winners got a free book token for the book fair coming to the school from March 27th – 31st. Well done to everyone who took part!
