On Thursday 5th March 2026, Minet Junior School celebrated World Book Day with a fantastic display of creativity and enthusiasm for reading. Pupils arrived dressed as their favourite book characters and brought along a book that they enjoy or that holds special meaning to them.

Throughout the day, children shared their books and discussed their favourite stories. Each class also held a costume competition, with winners receiving a book written by our visiting World Book Day author. We saw a wonderful range of characters across the school, including: Matilda, Mary Poppins, Willy Wonka and Harry Potter and friends. The children looked fantastic and many members of staff joined in the celebrations by dressing up too!
