Primary school pupils get in character for World Book Day

Schoolchildren have been dressing up as their favourite characters to celebrate World Book Day.Pupils learned about the importance of reading and many battled it out in a competition as they dressed up as their favourite characters.Youngsters and staff transformed themselves into an array of characters including scarecrows, witches and elves for the day.The day aimed to encourage more children to read and recognise the different genres they are interested in.Throughout the day the children learnt about different authors in different classes and for some there was an assembly for parents to hear about what their children had learnt.
