RADSTOCK’S Westfield Primary School and Nursery was transformed into a colourful celebration of stories and imagination for World Book Day.

Pupils dressed up as their favourite book characters to mark the International Year of Reading while staff joined in the fun too, all coming as Waldo from the popular Where’s Wally? books.

Throughout the week, the school hosted a range of book-themed activities designed to inspire a lifelong love of reading among pupils.

Headteacher Mr Mills said: “Events like this help bring stories to life for children. When pupils see characters, talk about books and share their favourite stories, reading becomes something exciting and memorable.

The children enjoyed seeing their friends all dressed as characters from their favourite books.
