Wesburn Primary School share their love of reading



Students and staff at Wesburn Primary School loved the opportunity to dress up and celebrate together for Book Week.

Principal Anne Stenhouse said Wesburn Primary School celebrated all kinds of books, from picture story books to novels.

“Book Week encourages us to share our favourite authors and stories, and maybe even try to read some new books written by authors that we may not have read before. Dressing up as our favourite characters enable us to share our love of reading,” she said.

“In the words of Dr Seuss, ‘The more that you read, the more that you will know, the more that you learn, the more places you’ll go’. When we read fiction books, the stories come alive in our minds as we enter magical worlds. Maybe some of us have visited Narnia, Neverland, Wonderland, Hogwarts, The Shire, or maybe even Gotham City. “
