World Book Day 2026: Myths and Legends

Last Thursday, our school celebrated World Book Day with an exciting morning themed around Myths and Legends. Pupils and staff embraced the theme brilliantly, with some fantastic costumes bringing legendary characters, heroes and mythical creatures to life around the school.

Throughout the morning, pupils took part in a carousel of creative activities designed to inspire imagination and celebrate storytelling. Activities included a Mythical Creature Treasure Hunt, where pupils searched for hidden clues around the school, and Bake a Legend, where they explored foods inspired by myths and legends from different cultures.

In the Mythical Artefact Workshop, pupils designed and created their own magical objects, thinking carefully about the powers and stories behind them. They also took part in Myth Mash-Up: Create a New Legend, where they used their creativity to combine characters, settings and ideas to invent brand new mythical stories.

The morning finished with a World Book Day quiz, testing pupils’ knowledge of famous stories and legendary characters. We also held a prize giving for the best costumes, and there were some truly impressive outfits across the school.

It was a fantastic morning filled with creativity, storytelling and a shared love of books. Well done to all pupils and staff who took part and helped make the event such a success!
