World Book Day 2026

What a whimsical whirlwind of a day! πŸ“šβœ¨ Both Chapel Street and Firs Lane have been bursting with literary magic as we celebrated an absolutely spectacular World Book Day! πŸ₯³

The atmosphere was electric at Chapel Street when none other than Willy Wonka himself made a grand appearance, accompanied by his mischievous troupe of Oompa Loompas! 🍭🎩 Meanwhile, over at Firs Lane, the corridors were transformed into a living library; we spotted the Wizard of Oz crew skipping along πŸ‘ πŸ¦, Harry Potter casting spells ⚑️, and the chaotic energy of Thing 1 and Thing 2 keeping everyone on their toes! πŸ”΅πŸ”΄ It has been a thoroughly enjoyable day filled with laughter and imagination.


🌟 A Heartfelt Thank You

A massive well done and a huge thank you to our incredible staff who organised such a brilliant day and spent a vast amount of time preparing to make it unforgettable for the children! πŸ†πŸ‘

A special shout-out goes to Miss Ella, our resident festive mastermind, who organised a mountain of brilliant activities and crafted those truly fab decorations that brought our favourite stories to life! πŸŽ¨βœ‚οΈπŸŒˆ
