World Book Day

World Book Day is, again, quickly approaching. This year, World Book Day will be held on Thursday 5th of March and we have decided to use the opportunity to get our teeth stuck into some poetry across school. Each phase has been allocated a selection of poems which the children will study throughout the day. If your child would like to dress up, we ask that they come as something related to their allocated poems – ideas are given in brackets).
