Our children set sail on a sea of wonder as they headed into the playground, jumped ship and relished the chance to celebrate their favourite books and most loved book characters.

"As we know, building a pleasure in reading begins young, and reading to children from birth is powerful and underpins much of their initial development, both cognitive and in developing language skills.

"At Westbourne House School this development continues from nursery through to Year 8. Today we celebrated and enjoyed our books!"
