We began this year’s World Book Day with a book tournament – The Battle of the Books!

Each key stage were read pairs of books. Pupils then voted for their favourite book which then went into round 2. Eventually one book emerged as the winner…..

…………KS1 Brave Molly (a wordless book)

…………KS2 I Bet I Can Make You Laugh (a poetry book)

This was followed by KS1 completing a book scavenger hunt in our new school library ‘The Book Nook’.

KS2 visited Waterstones in Bridport. We saw behind the scenes and learnt how the shop and book stock works.

We were given the opportunity to suggest which books we would like the shop to stock.

We were given the chance to browse the books and buy our own.

Back in school we did a book swap so that everyone could go home with at least one book. The excitement and engagement in books was wonderful to see.
