• World Book Day

  Thu 02 Mar 2023

  At Wellfield Junior School we certainly celebrated World Book Day in style! We started the day listening to Mr Worrall read a 'bedtime story'. Mr Worrall acted out the story with great enthusiasm and energy. It was like the characters were actually in our school hall! 

   

  Later in the day the children read to younger children at Wellfield Infant School and Nursery. This was a great experience! We also had a 'book swap'. The children enjoyed having the opportunity to choose a new book to enjoy reading at home. 

   

  Finally, we were treated to a visit from the author, Stuart Rowson, who shared his fantastic novel, 'Izzy and the Tumble Thunder'.

  The whole school joined the Royal British Legion and the National Literacy Trust in an interactive live assembly, along with other schools across the country. With music, poetry, film, photography and more, this unique experience brought Remembrance to life in new ways to ensure the children understood why we continue to remember.
