World Book Day 2015
Swinemoor celebrates World Book Day
World Book Day is a celebration! It’s a celebration of authors, illustrators, books and (most importantly) it’s a celebration of reading. In fact, it’s the biggest celebration of its kind, designated by UNESCO as a worldwide celebration of books and reading, and marked in over 100 countries all over the world.
Trevor Millum visits school.
We were very lucky to have the children’s author and poet Trevor Millum visit us on World Book Day. Trevor worked with Key Stage 2 pupils and presented a selection of his poems. Pupils in year 3/4 interviewed him about writing, inspiration and what tips he has for young writers.
