World Book Day 2023

This year we celebrated World Book Day as a whole school project. The children read 'Journey' by Aaron Becker. The story follows a girl on an elaborate flight of fancy in a wondrously illustrated, wordless picture book about self-determination and unexpected friendship. 

The pictures below show some of the children acting out the story in PE and drawing using the 'magic crayon'. It was a wonderful project enjoyed by the classes and teachers!
