World Book Day 2026

What an incredible World Book Day we've had today! πŸ“š This year's theme, 'Go All in - If you’re into it, read into it,' truly inspired us all!

The kids & staff came in some amazing costumes and PJs! They enjoyed live readings with authors, sparking their creativity and love for books. We also:

- Dove into graphic novels and explored their unique layouts.

- The kiddos got creative, forming teams or working solo on their own graphic novels.

- Everyone collaborated to design their stunning covers!

These creations will be 'published' for everyone to celebrate. What a fun-filled day! Keep inspiring your young readers! πŸ“–βœ¨

Feel free to drop your little ones off in their class, join them for some morning learning fun, and then come down to the infant hall for a 9:15 AM start!

We can’t wait to connect with all of you and answer any questions you might have.

Y5 Story Slam

This week, our amazing Year 5 students took the stage at the annual UL event StorySLAM held at Hunningley Primary Academy in Barnsley! 🌟 StorySLAM is a super exciting storytelling competition for Y5 & Y6 pupils, where they get to write and perform their very own stories. It's all about sparking creativity, building confidence, and honing those presentation skills!

We're especially excited to share that this year's special guest was Dan Freedman, author of the beloved Jamie Johnson series! The students were absolutely thrilled to meet him! A massive shoutout to Efah for representing our school with such poise and respect. Way to go, Efah! πŸŽ‰
