The world as we know it at the Prep School was turned into the world of Mr Men and Little Miss for our World Book Day celebrations this year. As well as the traditional fantastic dressing up – Little Miss Princess and Perfect, Mr Bump and Mr Sneeze we also had some creativity with Little Miss Selfie, Mr Back to Front and Mr Trump even turned up, with orange tan and blond quiff!

Donations were made in support of BookAid International with more than £245 being raised. Over 100 characters were hidden all around the school and grounds for pupils to find and the Maths department set up coordinates sheets to practise Maths skills.

A fantastic Mr Happy cake was made by Kim Last in the kitchen to cheer the staff along and a writers’ competition resulted in wins for Ella Ogilvie and Toby Long – with runners- up certificates for Charlie Parry and Teal Stimpson.

Year 2 also created this wonderful poem with each and everyone contributing to this masterpiece adding a description of their character.
