World Book Day

On World Book Day we all came to school dressed as our favourite book characters.

In assembly on we thought about children in other countries who are just like us and have a right to education but because of war or difficult conditions do not have books to teach or entertain them.

We learnt about organisations like Unicef that raise money to create schools and provide educational resources so children can have the education that is their right.
 
We know we are lucky. Our school has a wonderful library and provides fantastic opportunities to learn. It is our responsibility to make the most of it!
