World book day is next Thursday 3rd March and we will be celebrating its 25th anniversary! For this day, we would like to invite the children to dress up as their favourite book characters, it would be great if the children could bring the book also with them, so they can share this with the rest of the class.
Don’t forget our open afternoon on Wednesday 16th March to look at your child’s learning. You book this through the form found on the last week’s blog on the discovery page.
