We celebrated World Book Day on Friday 8th March! The children were invited to dress up
as a famous book character for this day and we saw a fantastic range of book inspired outfits
such as Matilda, Willy Wonka and even Aveline Jones! The children enjoyed a day of ‘Drop
Everything and Read’ centred around a particular book with a focus to promote our love of
reading and reading for pleasure. They had hot chocolates with marshmallows and cream to
enjoy as a treat! As well as all of this, Miss Stewart planned a very exciting ‘Barcroft Blind
Book Date’ event in school and we held our first ever ‘Book Swap’ event – where children
could bring in some books from home that they’ve already read and swapped them for a new
book. Please read below to find out more about what each class got up to on World Book
Day 2024!
