00:00This year we've based our World Book Week on the stories of Julia Donaldson because
00:07she's written over 200 amazing stories that our children really love. So this morning
00:11we've had lots of stories that we've read in assembly and then we've had a woodland
00:15picnic in the hall all together. We always transform our hall, so this year it's been
00:21all the books from Julia Donaldson, but in the past we've transformed it into Harry Potter
00:27and the hall from Harry Potter. We've also done Alice in Wonderland and other amazing
00:33stories and the children get really excited to come to school the next day and find the
00:38hall totally transformed. We've got children from different classes reading to each other
00:42through the day. Teachers and other adults from school are also going and reading to
00:47classes that perhaps you wouldn't usually go into to read stories, so just lots of storytelling,
00:52reading and everything around books today. Children, you know, enjoy talking about the
00:57books, they see the love of books and the love of books that the adults have as well
01:01and it's just that promoting how important reading is.
