World Book Day 2026

Delta fostered a love of reading and took part in World Book Day!  Around the school, there was a great buzz and everyone was reading for pleasure. Reading has an amazing effect on how we interact with others through books. 

Once again, we took part in a few activities and stories focusing on kindness from 52 Lives School of Kindness alongside other activities too:

  • Children and staff dressing up in their book character costumes 
  • Potato book character competition
  • Whole school assembly - guess the book quiz!
  • Peer reading - different classes reading and sharing a book
  • Where’s Wally scavenger hunt
  • Reading Fiesta where parents were invited to read
  • Write a story based on ‘Ten-word Tiny Tales of Love’ by Joseph Coelho
  • Listening to books which are linked to kindness
  • Reception to Year 3 - ‘Kindness for Koalas’ where the children invented their own character and how they will teach the value kindness 
  • Year 4 to 6 - Kindness Boomerang’ where the children created their own kindness boomerang to spread kindness with each person they met
  • BBC Teach Live World Book Day lesson

It was pure joy getting lost in all things related to reading and books!
