World Book Day 2026 at Temple Meadow! What a wonderful day we've had celebrating World Book Day across the whole school! The children looked fantastic in their costumes and pyjamas and it was brilliant to see so much excitement around books and reading. A huge thank you to Mr Curzon for leading the day and organising such engaging, fun reading activities for all our children. From the whole school assembly to the bookthemed sessions in class, it has been a truly joyful celebration of stories. As an extra treat, each child will be coming home today with a preloved book to keep and enjoy – a lovely way to continue inspiring a love of reading at home. Thank you to our families for your support and for helping make today so special.

Supporting Wellbeing Across Our School Miss Nugent has been working with children across the whole school to boost wellbeing through yoga, meditation and drama workshops. These calming sessions help children develop emotional regulation strategies, manage anxiety and improve focus using mindful breathing and relaxation techniques. Through creative drama activities, they also build confidence, strengthen communication skills and learn to express their thoughts and feelings in a safe, supportive environment. Together, these approaches are helping nurture resilience, empathy and positive relationships - promoting a calmer, more emotionally aware school community. We're so proud of the positive impact this is having on our children and families!

Family Engagement Evening – Reminder A quick reminder that our Family Engagement Evening takes place on Wednesday 11th March, 3:30–6:30pm.

World Book Day – Thursday 5th March! We're excited to celebrate World Book Day 2026 next week! Children can come to school dressed as their favourite book character or in pyjamas for a cosy bedtimestory theme. They're also welcome to bring in a favourite book to share. We'll enjoy a special assembly, fun reading activities, and every child in school will receive a World Book Day token and choose a preloved book to take home. Families can also check out the Blue Peter Book Badge - a great chance for children to share a book they love and earn a special badge! We can't wait to celebrate the joy of reading together!
