Next week we will celebrate Book Week commencing with a special day on Monday 23rd August. Children are invited to dress in a costume related to the theme (Old Worlds, New Worlds, Other Worlds) or as a favourite character from a book. 

We will be able to see some costumes at our online School Assembly and children will get to show off their costumes in the Class Meets straight after assembly.
