Bringing Books to Life: World Book Day Celebrations

Thursday 5th March marked World Book Day, which was celebrated across the school with a range of engaging activities.

In Infants and Juniors, pupils came dressed as their favourite book characters and brought in their chosen books to share. There were plenty of book-related activities and opportunities for older and younger pupils to read together, helping to promote a shared love of stories across the age groups.

In Seniors, pupils took part in a special World Book Day assembly. This included a speech from Year 11 pupil Natasha on the importance of literature, as well as insights from Mrs Phillips on the benefits of reading. The day also featured a shared reading of Roald Dahl’s Lamb to the Slaughter, alongside activities such as staff reading recommendations, reading quizzes in the library, and other book-themed challenges.

All pupils received a World Book Day token, which can be used to purchase a book from participating retailers.

At Heritage, we love reading and aim to take every opportunity to promote books and a lifelong love of reading.
