World Book Day 2025

Herne View CofE School celebrated World Book Day with great enthusiasm as children and staff arrived at school in the costumes of their favourite book characters.  The event featured a school-wide book swap, allowing students to exchange their books and discover new stories, fostering a community spirit and a love for reading.

In addition to the book swap, the day was filled with engaging activities, including a bookmark competition that showcased the artistic talents of the students. Throughout the day, both children and staff shared stories, bringing books to life through their passionate storytelling. The celebration not only highlighted the joy of reading but also brought the school community closer together through their shared love for literature.

The day was certainly a hit with the children who commented:
Harvey - I love World Book Day and dressing up as the Hulk.
Cecelia - We had a book swap and there were loads of books to choose from.
Freda- I love dressing up as a witch for World Book Day!
Nicholas- We had lots of fun on World Book Day. I am dressed up as ‘The Smartest Giant in Town’ and the book swap was fun.

Thanks go to the school’s English leads Miss West and Miss Swinson who co-ordinated all the activities across the school.
