World Book Day

World Book Day celebrations Thursday 1st March
World Book day is an annual event to promote the love and enjoyment of reading. All the children will receive a £1 book voucher. These can be exchanged at local bookshops that are participating in the scheme.

We are also very fortunate to have a famous author, Jill Murphy, living in the village and she has very kindly accepted an invitation to our school to talk to the children about the hard work, fun and enjoyment involved in writing. Hopefully this will inspire their creativity in writing as well.

Jill Murphy is well known for the `Worst Witch` series and the delightful family adventures of the `Large Family` so we thought it would be fun and something different for the pupils to have a themed dressing -up day based on those characters.

Half term ideas to fill rainy days based on the theme of elephants and witches!
Prepare your dressing up costume.

Following this event. On Monday 12th March, another author, Jack Trelawney has offered to visit the school to discuss his books which are based in Cornwall.
