We have a theme this year which is 101 Dalmatians. Miss Whiteley has been sharing the story with many classes over the past few weeks.
Children are invited to dress up as one of the Dalmatian puppies – wear a white t-shirt with black spots. You can easily make your own using an white t-shirt and either decorate using a black felt tip pen or on paper colour in black spots, cut out and sellotape onto your t-shirt.
If you are not dressing up then please wear your school uniform as usual.
Whether you are dressing up or not everyone will be able to take part in lots of different activities and time to enjoy reading and sharing books and will be given a £1 World Book Day voucher which can be redeemed at participating retailers.

On Thursday evening (26th October) fifteen children from KS2 who had been participating in the Leeds Book Awards attended the Presentation Evening. They ‘Dressed to Impress’ wearing glitter and sequins, suits with bow ties and jackets.
There were photo booth opportunities complete with hats, masks and feather boas which the children loved and books to buy.
Excitement filled the air as the children eagerly waited for the names of the winning authors to be announced. Followed by even more excitement as the children were able to meet the authors and have their newly purchased books signed or their Leeds Book Awards programmes.
They loved every minute of it and were sad when the evening came to an end.
