Story characters come to life at school

IT’S terribly kind of you to ask but no, these youngsters would rather play with the Gruffalo.

The terrible beast was one of the many story characters who visited St Patrick’s Primary School in Cashmore Avenue, Leamington, last Wednesday as part of a book fair.

Pupils and staff came dressed as their favourite protagonists including Puss in Boots, Where’s Wally?, Pinocchio and The White Rabbit.

The event was held in conjunction with Children’s Book Week, a national celebration of reading for pleasure for youngsters of primary school age. www.booktrust.org.uk/Campaigns/Childrens-Book-Week
