World Book Day – special Newbury Weekly News supplement out this week featuring World Book Day in our schools

Characters of all shapes and sizes set children’s minds into a reading frenzy, as World Book Day was celebrated at schools across the district.

Throughout last week schools across West Berkshire and North Hampshire took part in a host of World Book Day events – and we were there to capture all the magic.

Our special World Book Day supplement is out in tomorrow’s Newbury Weekly News and the photographs will be available to purchase online here. Just click on the World Book Day 2024 tab.

Like many other schools, at the Parsons Down Partnership the children enjoyed a story time session, where pupils from different classes joined up to share their favourite stories.

Children also brought in cakes with a book theme for a special competition run by the parents’ association.

The school also ran a competition for children to design some art work for a new school newspaper ‘The Parsons Down News.

Pick up a copy of the paper tomorrow to see all the photos from schools across the area.
