World Book Day 2026

Reception 

In Reception we enjoyed sharing lots of books throughout the day.  We drew and wrote about our favourite characters.  We also played 'Guess the character.'  We gave 3 clues and out friends had to guess the character we were describing.  We loved this game!

Year 1

We loved dressing up! We talked about our characters, shared our books and talked about our costumes and props! We then posed for a photo!

We designed superheroes! We created superhero spoons using lots of resources and then enjoyed playing with them and telling stories.

 We also read with year 5. We shared and talked about the books we brought in from home as well as using the books we have in our classroom.

Year 2

In Year 2 we talked about reading different texts, we all like different types; fiction, non-fiction, magazines, recipes and poems. We talked about how we like to share books with others.  We spent time sharing books and completing an activity sheet drawing the front cover of our favourite book, our favourite place to share a book and their favourite reading snack!   

Year 3

Year 4a

Today Year 3 and 4 paired up and swapped classes. We shared with our partner what our favourite books were, what character we had come dresses as today and we read with each other. We then completed a live online lesson with school from all over the country. They set us missions to complete in our mission booklet where we discussed what our ‘reading vibe’ was, how books make us feel and what genres of books we liked. We also thought about what books we might want to read next. After this, we completed a challenge where we had to think of a book character for every letter of the alphabet.

Year 4b

Year 4B had a wonderful time celebrating World Book Day! In the morning, we teamed up with 4A and Year 3 for a live lesson and a range of reading challenges, where we discussed different genres and shared where and when we enjoy reading.

We are currently loving our class novel How to Train Your Dragon, and it was great to see some brilliant costumes inspired by the story. Some of us even had matching outfits, with Miss Godwin, Henry and Max dressed as characters from the book!

In the afternoon, we went outside to create our own nature-inspired gods and goddesses. Using natural materials and the sounds around us, we imagined and designed our own unique characters.

It was a fun day celebrating reading, creativity and imagination!

Year 5

In Year 5 we celebrated World Book Day by thinking about what our favourite books are right now and why we like them so much. Lots of children said how much they are enjoying our class book Treason by Berlie Doherty which was great! We discussed who we would recommend these books to and why and created some posters to put on our reading display. The costumes were fantastic and we managed to guess nearly every character that someone had come as!

Year 6

The children have to create a story character, setting and problem - all on different colour paper.  They will then swap them about and tell silly stories with a random combination of character, setting and problem.
