There was a splendid display of characters from the world of literature.

Most of Hogwart's were present to witness the activities and were joined by fellow sorcerers from Narnia, Cats in Hats, a wooden puppet who just wanted to be a real boy, a marmalade loving bear from Peru and a tremendous Tin Man. 

Every character was beautifully represented and intricately detailed, transforming our St. Stephen's school into a literary tableau of epic proportions. 

The children took part in a book swap, exchanging their favourite read with a friend's, thus ensuring the recycling of tales across the school. 

The day was rounded off with a poetry recital from each class which in some cases incorporated props and actions that must have taken hours to finesse.  

All in all it was a wonderful World Book Day. Huge thanks to all who put in so much effort to magically bring these literary characters to life.
