Our celebrations have been filled with creativity, imagination, reading joy, and enrichment opportunities that we know our children will remember for a long time. ## A Fun-Filled World Book Day for All Year Groups This year’s **World Book Day** at **St Cuthbert’s Catholic Primary School in Crook** has been one to remember! Pupils across the school took part in a wide variety of activities designed to inspire a lifelong love of reading. Our day included: - **Live author events** - **Story readings streamed by real authors** - **Book‑themed scavenger hunts** - **Creative crafts and character‑themed activities** - **Plenty of cosy, shared reading time** The school was also filled with fantastic **character tubes**, skilfully created at home and brought in by pupils. These will be judged tomorrow by our wonderful *Reading Squad*. We were blown away by the effort and imagination the children put into their designs. A big well done to everyone who joined in with our **Dress as a Word Day**—your thoughtful choices sparked so many interesting conversations in classrooms and corridors all morning. ## Early Years Enjoy Magical Story Moments Our Early Years children looked brilliant in their World Book Day outfits and had a truly special day of story experiences. They enjoyed: - Interactive stories on the whiteboard - Stories read aloud by adults - Sharing books and reading together - Listening to a story read by a *superstar reader* from their class It was a joy to see our youngest children so engaged, enthusiastic, and proud to share their love of books. ## A Week Full of Enrichment Dear parents, carers, and families of St Cuthbert’s—What a busy and inspiring week it has been! Alongside World Book Day, pupils also enjoyed **Graham’s BOOMwhacker workshops**, which filled school with rhythm, teamwork and musical excitement. These enrichment opportunities help bring learning to life and create memories we hope stay with our children for years to come. A huge congratulations to this week’s **ASPIRE Award winners**. Your achievements continue to make us smile—we are so proud of each and every one of you. ## Thank You to Our Work Experience Students We would also like to extend a sincere thank you to our work experience students—**Charlie, Christian and Harry**. Your initiative, positivity, teamwork and willingness to help in every situation have been hugely appreciated. We wish you all the very best in the next steps of your education.
