All Saints March C of E Academy is celebrating World Book Day in full force, with children and staff embracing the joy of reading and creativity by dressing up as their favourite book characters. This day is not only about costumes but about fostering a love for literature that will inspire, educate, and connect our pupils.
Throughout the day, our students have explored the transformative power of storytelling. The theme of World Book Day this year has given us an opportunity to reflect on how books can inspire imaginations, expand knowledge, and build a sense of community. In addition to the fun and excitement of dressing up, pupils have been immersed in engaging stories that spark conversations and curiosity.
At All Saints March, we are committed to encouraging children to develop a lifelong love of reading. To support this, each class has dedicated read-aloud time, where teachers share thought-provoking and challenging texts that encourage students to think critically and creatively. These sessions promote the enjoyment of reading while also exposing children to a wide variety of literary styles and genres.
Our classrooms also feature book-rich reading environments, ensuring that every child has access to a variety of books they can explore independently. By fostering a space where books are celebrated and easily accessible, we hope to cultivate a generation of enthusiastic readers who understand the importance of storytelling in their lives.
