Hartlebury Church of England (VC) Primary School took part in World Book Day on Thursday 1st March 2018. The whole school were invited to dress up as their favourite book character. As you can see from the photo our children looked FAB-U-LOUS!! We celebrated World Book day with lots of stories in school during the day. Our children are also taking part in lots of different activities throughout the month of March. These include – 1. Writing a book review of their favourite book and bringing both into school to share – 2. Recreating a scene from their favourite book by drawing, painting, collage or modelling – 3. Making a puppet of their favourite book character. Please look at more of our FABULOUS World Book Day photos in our Gallery.

We celebrated World Book Day all week and what a fabulous week it was!
As part of our celebrations in school, we chose a book to share in all classes called Leaf, by Sandra Dieckmann and invited the children to come to school dressed up, not as book characters, but as animals, to support the activities around this wonderful story. While the tale of Leaf takes place in a forest, full of woodland creatures, children and adults came to school dressed as lots of different animals from all parts of the world!
The children were also invited to visit another school within our Trust and took part in the, SAET hosted, Chris White author workshop.
Some of our children in Year 6 were reading buddies with our Year 3 children and were very helpful towards them. Well done Year 6.
We all had a wonderful week celebrating World Book Day and our love of reading.
A special thank you must go to Miss Porter who organised all of this for us.
Please have a look in our Gallery at all the lovely photo’s from the day.
Year 6 had a fantastic afternoon on our Author Visit with Daniel Henshaw on Wednesday 6th March 2024.
Daniel told us all about his book, ‘The Great Snail Robbery.’ In his book, Jeremy Green is about to commit the crime of the century… and steal two African Land Snails from school! Although his life is falling apart around him, the daring ten-year-old realises that all of his problems could vanish when he hitches an ambitious plot!
After Daniel had told us about his book he worked with the children to plan their very own mystery story. We developed a main character, came up with a stolen item and even came up with three possible suspects.The children behaved exceptionally well and planned some really brilliant stories. Well done Alder class!
