The week, organised by teacher, Rachel Morley, included many fun packed ideas for the children to try.

The children began the week by bringing in their favourite book and taking part in a book speed dating activity to encourage each other to read from a wider variety of Authors and styles.

On Tuesday, artist and book illustrator Charlotte Firmin joined the infant and junior department , to work with year groups creating illustrated stories centred around super heroes and super powers.

This was the highlight of the week for many children, who were truly inspired by the illustrators talents to make their stories unfold before their very eyes!

Buzzing with ideas the children then set to work designing their own super heroes and creating individual stories. The children also took part in a book token design competition as well as designing a book sleeve for their super hero stories.

A fun, insightful week was had by all.
