Reading, Sharing and Imagining: World Book Day in Fourth Class

5th Mar 2026
Fourth Class had a wonderful World Book Day filled with reading, discussion and creativity. In the afternoon, we paired up with our friends in First Class to share books from the Little People, Big Dreams series. It was lovely to see the older pupils reading with the younger children and helping them explore the inspiring stories. Afterwards, the class completed thoughtful book reports based on the books they had read.

Our teacher also introduced us to the picture book Milo Imagines the World, which was enjoyed by the whole school today. As we read, the class made predictions about what might happen next and shared some very insightful ideas about the characters and their stories. The children had great discussions and discovered an important message from the book — that we should never judge a book by its cover. 📚✨
