We've had an inspiring week celebrating all things books and reading as World Book Day celebrations have brought our favourite stories and characters to life. 

In Prep, pupils have been celebrating World Book Day all week. During morning breaktimes, the children have listened to story times led by Prep staff in the Library and on beanbags in the sunshine.

Additionally, they have enjoyed an interactive World Book Day assembly led by 4M, mixed year group paired reading sessions and lunch time activities including short story writing, designing book covers, 'book speed dating', creating bookmarks and crafting dens for book characters. It has been wonderful to see engagement in these activities which have sparked imaginations and conversations all week. 

Our talented team from Accent Catering also added a touch of story time magic to our World Book Day themed lunch menu on Thursday!

Meanwhile, innovative costumes helped Pre-Prep celebrate World Book Day on Thursday alongside reading buddy sessions with Year 2 and Pre-School, book toast decorating and a World Book Day House Competition which Dover were the winners of this year.
