This week is World Book Day on Thursday. Please remember to dress up as your favourite character from a book, and remember to bring this book with you to share in class. Alternatively, you can choose to wear comfy clothes to enjoy reading for pleasure on this day. Don't forget our Reading Bingo Challenge that was set at the beginning of the half term. Will anyone be able to complete a row of 5? Or even complete the whole sheet?
