On Friday 8th March, we celebrated World Book Day. The theme of our day was 'Graphic Novels'. From the beginning of the day there was a buzz of excitement in the air. Who were all these characters coming into school?

As well as guessing characters from clues or costumes, we also had a visit from Gary Northfield, a graphic novelist who has contributed to Beano comics, Horrible Histories and Horrible Science books as well as that he has written his own series of 'Julius Zebra. books (https://www.garynorthfield.com/about-me/). Gary led two workshops, one for KS1 and the other for KS2. All the children were really engaged in the session and produced great pirate-based comic stories. Gary also signed some books for those avid fans of his! We also opened a new section of Graphic novels in the library, which we were able to stock using the money from the Book Fair. 

A great day was had by all!
