Book Week got off to a big start this week with our Book Parade. With this year's Book Week theme being "Book an Adventure", the teachers got into the spirit by taking everyone on a safari adventure! It was wonderful to see children dressing up in such a range of different book characters, from favourite characters and subjects, to the popular classics. Thank you to everyone who came along and joined in the fun.
