World Book Day 2026

We loved celebrating World Book Day today! We had a fantastic virtual visit from the incredibly talented author and illustrator, Rachel Bright. Rachel shared insights into her life as a writer and illustrator, engaging the children with a fun animal noise guessing game. The children were captivated by a spirited reading of The Lion Inside, featuring plenty of enthusiastic roars and squeaks, and they were thrilled to learn how to draw the mouse in a special tutorial. The event concluded with a lively reading of The Turtle who Turned the Tide, complete with audience-participation noises, leaving everyone inspired and ready to pick up a book. A huge thank you to all the parents who joined us for World Book Day, taking time to come in and read with the children. We especially appreciate the incredible effort that went into all the wonderful character costumes. To add to the fun, the children enjoyed completing a special quiz to see if they could guess the book characters our staff had dressed up as! We all chose a character from Julia Donaldson's books. Can you guess who we all are?
