3SG World Book Day

Last week, 3SG celebrated World Book Day in style. Everyone looked AMAZING in their costumes and a HUGE thank you to FONCA for their wonderful Mad Hatter’s tea party. The children loved playing games, eating cake and drinking juice just like Alice and her friends!

World Book Day 2025

On Friday, Norton Campus celebrated World Book day.  The theme at school this year was Alice and Wonderland and the children delivered, dressing up in some amazing costumes and even had the opportunity, thanks to FONCA, to take part in a Mad Hatter’s Tea Party.  Indeed, in 4GC we took the opportunity to create some amazing artwork exploring how we could use charcoal to create tone and texture.  Here are just some of the amazing outcomes created by our students. 

World Book Day!

What a fantastic day! This year, the children threw themselves in to our Alice in Wonderland theme by learning and performing ‘The Jaberwocky’. They showed great courage to perform this (with actions) to our year 4s. The day has inspired us further to create some wonderful watercolour paintings of the monsters within the poem!

World Book Day!

Last week Year 3 celebrated World Book Day by sharing our favourite stories and an amazing tea party! The children all looked amazing in their costumes and loved telling their classmates about their favourite characters. The children completed some amazing artwork based on the characters from Alice in Wonderland, using 2D shapes to create the outline.

World Book Day in Year 6!

Year 6 had an amazing World Book Day this year… we based the day around the Lewis Carroll poem ‘The Jabberwocky’. The pupils dissected the poem then rehearsed it ready to perform for the Year 4 pupils. The children showed confidence and courage when reading aloud and even included actions. We also created some amazing artwork of the weird and wonderful creatures in the poem using watercolours.

World Book Day 2025

Check out the amazing outfits for this year’s World Book Day! Our theme this year is Alice in Wonderland with the children being invited to the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party. We also spent the day solving the White Rabbit’s time problems as well as sketching our own interpretation of the Mad Hatter’s Hat!
