Don’t Judge a Book by Its Cover! Crew White Celebrates World Book Day

5th March 2026Charlotte Newman

Today, Crew White celebrated World Book Day with a fun book discovery activity designed to spark curiosity about reading. Students began by silently exploring eight different books placed around the room, judging their first impressions based on the covers. After discussing what caught their attention, students read a selection of blurbs, noted interesting details and questions on post-its, and reconsidered their choices. To finish, we held a lively Book Tournament, where the eight books competed in a class vote until one Crew White Champion Book was crowned — which we’ll now begin reading together in class.

World Book Day was such a fun experience for the children. We loved seeing everyone in their wonderful costumes, and a big thank you to all the parents for spending the time and effort preparing the children’s fantastic outfits.

During our session today, the children enjoyed developing their cutting skills as they made their own Wizard of Oz puppets. They carefully used scissors and materials to create their characters, showing great focus and creativity.

The children also used their fine motor skills to draw pictures of Elphaba and Glinda, taking time to add their own details and colours. It was lovely to see their imagination come to life through their drawings and puppet creations.

What a wonderful day celebrating books and stories together.

Well done, Crew Frost!
