World Book Day

It's 11 a.m. I'm sitting down with a cup of tea trawling through Twitter and I've only just discovered it's World Book Day.

A sure sign I'm no longer a teacher.

This time last year (and many years before that) I would have been dressed up as a fictional character and attending a whole school assembly to share our love of books.
Here is Mr B. doing his final Book Day assembly last year showing the children one of his ancient mountaineering books.

I'm still working on my 2015 Reading Challenge. The details of this are on my page at the top of the blog.

This week I've just started South Riding by Winifred Holtby. I remember it as a TV series not so long ago but I hadn't read the book.

If you're involved in a World Book Day event today I hope you have lots of fun.

  1. I missed world book day too! It was the first time in 15 years that I didn't have a child in primary school. I felt a lump in my throat seeing all the little ones dressed up. My youngest learned a poem - it's just not the same X

  2. Savanna was poorly this year so no costume conjuring was required from me!
    She only has one more year at junior school starting in Sept so my having to make things for dress up days will be coming to an end.
