Kilham Church Of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School

World Book Day ‘Get ready to read your way’ - Thursday 6 March 2025

On Thursday 6 March, the children at Kilham C of E Primary School celebrated World Book Day!  Like last year, we gave the children the choice of how they want to come dressed to school. Children could either come dressed as a book character, or they could come dressed in their comfiest pyjamas/onesie.

During the day, children were involved in several activities.

The school had lots of fun activities planned for all the children to take part in throughout the day:

-        In the morning, the children all gathered in the hall for a special World Book Day Worship.

        There was a DEAR (Drop Everything And Read!) session when Mr Palmer rang the school bell, and all the children stopped what they were doing and read.

-        In classrooms, there was a ‘An Ultimate Character Champion battle’ to find out who the most popular character from a book was in each class.

       On Friday (the day after World Book Day), we announced the winner of our annual Kate Nellar poetry competition, D McCabe, who wrote a lovely poem about friendship.
