THE infant and junior departments at St Nicholas’ School in Church Crookham celebrated World Book Day, the biggest annual festival of reading, earlier this month by dressing up as their favourite book characters.

There was a parade of costumes in the school hall, with characters ranging from the Demon Dentist and Gangsta Granny to Harry Potter, Hermione Grainger, Alice in Wonderland and Cinderella.

Prizes were awarded each year group and throughout the day, each class carried out various book-based activities.
