World Book Day 2025
What an incredible World Book Day we had at Aragon! The day was filled with excitement, creativity, and, of course, a love of reading.
We kicked things off with a fantastic costume parade, where every child looked amazing in their book-inspired outfits. From Elphaba and Glinda to Harry Potter characters, dragons, Dork Diaries kids, Poirot, Willy Wonka and his Oompa Loompas, Cruella DeVille, Seussical characters, and so many more – the effort was truly outstanding! A huge WELL DONE to everyone who dressed up. Special congratulations to Dobby (Elliot – Y5) and Oompa Loompa (Zachary – Y2), who were chosen as our KS2 and KS1 costume winners by Mr. Hicks, Mr. Lillie, and Mr. Kennedy.
We were also lucky to welcome David Vaughan, author of Harry Heal – The Friendly Footballer, who delivered an inspiring assembly to all the children. He then led a special writing workshop for our talented Page Boyz – a huge thank you to him for encouraging our young writers!
A real highlight of the day was inviting our families into school to share a story with their children. It’s always so special to see parents, grandparents, and carers enjoying books together, creating magical reading moments that we know the children will cherish. Thank you to everyone who joined us – your enthusiasm and support mean so much!
In the spirit of celebrating books, every child applied for a Blue Peter Reading Badge, which has now been sent home – fingers crossed that many of them will receive this fantastic reward!
One of the other highlights of the day was our Teacher Swap, where teachers visited different classes to share a story. Throughout the day, we took part in lots of book-themed activities and spent time reading and sharing some truly amazing stories.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who purchased a book from our Amazon Wishlist. We are thrilled to have received 67 new books, which will enrich our bookshelves and inspire children for years to come – we are so grateful for your generosity!
Finally, a big thank you to Miss Brown for organising such a magical and memorable World Book Day.
Here's to another year of reading, storytelling, and book-loving adventures! 📚✨
