We are really looking forward to celebrating world book day on Thursday 3rd March. Our teachers have been busy planning exciting and engaging activities to inspire a love for reading. We have guest readers calling in throughout the day and staff and children are encouraged to bring their favourite books to school to share with their classes. 

We would love parents and families to take part on this day by sharing their favourite books with us too, tag us on Twitter @oli_primary.

Reading is huge part of our curriculum and many of the national curriculum subjects are taught using a quality text approach, we firmly believe that learning to read and developing a love of reading is our number one job!

World book day is the perfect reason for us to read, read and read some more!
