During World Book Day pupils took part in a competition where they had to create a World Book Day voucher. They were given the challenge of creating a bold, eye-catching gift card design that celebrated their interests and showed how books can help you to explore ideas, spark imagination and go further through reading.
To celebrate World Book Day an author visited our school called Jodie James. She visited every class to complete an activity and read part of one of her books. All lessons during the day focused around various books and authors. Everyone also took part in a school competition to design a World Book Day token.
All pupils were given a £1 World Book Day book voucher and we held a Scholastic book Fair where books were for sale after school on Monday 9th March.
We read part of the twits and found out about some of the tricks Mr and Mrs Twit played on each other. We then had to be creative and write our own revolting recipe like the Squishy Wormy Spaghetti Mrs Twit made for Mr Twit. These were our winners.
We celebrated Roald Dahl Day and completed a range of tasks linked to some of his books. If we had something yellow to wear we wore it because that was his favourite colour. We also each donated £1 to his charity. We had great fun!
Pupils took part in school a competition where they were asked to create a front cover and a blurb for a book they would like to read.
Everyone at Biddick Hall Junior school enjoyed World Book Day 2025. We were lucky to have a visit from author Pauline Waters.

We celebrated Roald Dahl Day on Friday 13th September. Staff and children were encouraged to wear yellow and pay £1 for the Dahlicious charity. As well as finding out about Roald dahl himself all lessons were linked to a book written by Roald Dahl. A competition was also carried out where children designed their own chocolate bar.
This year’s World Book Day was focused on how children are more likely to enjoy reading when their choices are championed and we make reading fun.
Children and staff were encouraged to wear a costume relating to a book character.
For the full day lessons were focused around WBD. As part of this pupils were given the opportunity to take part in a school competition where they had to create a blurb and a front cover for a book that they would like to read. Additionally, they could enter another competition for which their entries will be sent away, this involved them design a national book token.
As part of World Book Day an author called Paula Fowler visited our school to tell us what inspired her to start to write books. She lives locally and is a self-published author of Wizard Beano and Pals.
We had great fun finding out about the two books she has written so far and finding out about the characters in her stories and how she created them. The themes of the stories are friendship, adventure, helping save the planet and looking after our wellbeing. We also found out a little bit about the book she is currently writing.
Well done to Sara Bainbridge Year 6 for completing all the texts and vocabulary levels on Reading Plus. An amazing achievement!
