On Friday, we joined an online event with Helen Stephens and learned more about poetry and stories and about what it is like to be a poet, author and illustrator. @sparkbookaward @clpe1 @WorldBookDayUK @Booktrust

On World Book Day, we all brought in our favourite book and (if we wanted to) dressed up as a character from that book.  In our whole school assembly,we had a parade and each class danced around the hall. It looked amazing!Accent Caterers dressed up too and decorated the hall.

On Wednesday, we opened up our Coombe Hill Infant School Book Shop, where the children used their £1 vouchers to buy a book.  They were so excited to be able to choose a new book and 📷take it home with them - we hope they are sharing these books with you at home.@WorldBookDayUK

On Tuesday, the poet Neal Zetter came to school.  He performed his poems in assembly, read poems in Reception, was interviewed by the Year 1 children and wrote poetry with Year 2. @sparkbookaward @clpe1 @nealzetterpoet @AccentCatering @Booktrust @WorldBookDayUK

On Monday, we had a World Book Day assembly where we shared “Wild Book Day” with the children and gave each class a copy. @sparkbookaward @clpe1 @nealzetterpoet @AccentCatering @Karlwheel @Booktrust @WorldBookDayUK @jb_illustrates

What an amazing week we have had celebrating books and our love of reading! We will continue to celebrate books and reading for pleasure. We love books! @sparkbookaward @clpe1 @nealzetterpoet @AccentCatering @Karlwheel @Booktrust @WorldBookDayUK

We are so thankful for the guidance and support we have received from CLPE over the years and the Reflecting Realities Reports which have helped raise awareness in our school community of this important message. @clpe1 @storyriver @IBCplatform @ace_national @sayheychante
