Last week, to celebrate World Book Day, sixty of our children took part in our Hat Competition. It was wonderful to see how much care, time and creativity had gone into each and every hat. The entries showed fantastic effort from the children, with each one designing a unique hat inspired by a favourite story or book character. Today we announced the winners and took time during our celebration worship to recognise and celebrate every single hat. The display was truly breath-

A big thank you to everyone who provided costumes and props for your children on World Book Day.

Take a look at all our fantastic costumes!!

What a fantastic World Book Day we have had! We walked up to WH Smith with our buddies and carefully selected a book.

They had to read, infer, comprehend, spell, scan, skim and riddle their way to freedom, or face the Crow Queen and be trapped in Crow Castle. Duck

Depending on the age and ability of our children, each child reads their levelled book and then shares a picture book with the buddy or if a free reader, then the children take their chosen book to read aloud to a Glendale reading buddy.

This morning, Year One enjoyed an exciting trip to Three Hills, where they took part in a fun-filled range of agility activities alongside children from other schools.
