At The Meadow we love reading and are forever promoting reading across the school, encouraging the children to access as many different text types as they can.

WBD was a very colourful event with children having the option to dress as their favourite characters or produce a scene in a box. During the day children and staff shared their favourite books, there were quizzes, a Harry Potter themed Horcrux hunt and so much more, all for the love of books. Having been a success last year, the children decided they wanted the return of The Meadow stories. Year 6 create the first paragraph of a story which is then continued by year 5, then 4 etc. culminating with the final paragraph created by our Foundation Stage children. 

We asked children what they liked best about WBD and this is what they said….. Yr 1 - ‘I loved dressing up as Harry Potter and doing all the wizard activities like the scavenger hunt for the horcruxes.’ ‘My favourite bit was practising saying Wingardium Leviosa.’ Year 3 - The best part about World Book Day was when we had to solve clues to open a special door. We had to find the clues outside and work in a group to solve them.  Year 6 said, " We enjoyed getting to look for the Horcruxes - even if some of them were tricky to find. We also got to play Quidditch which isn't a sport we have played before!"
