The Gruffalo, Harry Potter and Elmer the Elephant all took part in World Book Day celebrations at Gaywood Primary.
Children at our school, which is a member of the West Norfolk Academies Trust, arrived in class on Thursday 7 March dressed as characters from the books of their year group’s chosen author.
Reception pupils were inspired by David McKee’s Elmer the Elephant, while Year 1 drew from the works of Julia Donaldson, creator of The Gruffalo as well as Room on the Room and a host of other popular favourites.
Year 3 children chose from Roald Dahl’s many classics, while Year 4 dressed as Cressida Cowell’s Viking hero Hiccup and his friends, Year 5 took their pick from the works of David Walliams, and Year 6’s author was Harry Potter creator JK Rowling.
