World Book Week - wow what an amazing week we had at Dymchurch.  We gave all children in school amazing opportunities such as a 'bringing books to life' dance workshop where they focused on a story book and really became the characters!  We also had a wonderful author and illustrator in to talk to the children about how the book is made, how long it takes for the book to be made and how they get inspired by their writing.  The author also brought in the star of the show, Tiggy the Dog who is a wonderful therapy dog and met all of the children.  Tiggy, in her books, goes on amazing adventures, and the book they saw was based all around Dymchurch! 

We continued with book swaps, a successful family reading session in the afternoon inviting family members to come along and read with their children, and of course, World Book Day wouldn't be the same without dressing up!  

We continued with promoting reading to the school by also inviting a Travelling Book Fair in for families and children to buy books.  Alongside this we ran a 'create your own book character' competition for 5 children to win a £5 book voucher to spend at the book fair.  Well done to our amazing winners and everyone for making our World Book Week a fantastic success!
