We started off our annual Reading Month with the Scholastic Book Fair, thank you to all our children and parents who participated. We had a great turn out and raised lots of books for our school.

All the Classes have decorated their doors in celebration of Carlton Reading Month. Have a look at all the fantastic displays.

World Book Day
We had an amazing World Book day - just look at all the fantastic costumes the children and staff came to school in.
Many classes took part in fun reading and story-telling activities - in school, out of school and online. Some even had special visitors. Can you spot them?
We ended the day with our World Book Day assembly to announce the winners of the first round of Reading Month competitions. Well done to everyone who took part and well done to all the winners.
