World Book Day is approaching. Here are four books that I've had the whole school doing activities on from Reception to Year 6 before now. A lovely way to bring the whole school together.

Just a reminder as we go back, that if you're in Y6, I've got a whole folder of whole class reading lessons you can have for free. Some is entire books like Holes, some is linked to science and geography and history etc. Will also add more this year.
