Last week saw St Bede’s First School, Bedlington take part in another National Book week. Instead of just bringing along their favourite books, these fancy dress fanatics took Book Week one step further and dressed up in fancy dress costumes of their favourite character.

The most popular fancy dress costumes amongst the children were pirate fancy dress outfits. There were plenty of fancy dress eye patches, hat and swords to be seen! Even the teachers embraces Book Week by dressing up in fancy dress outfits too, what a great way of using fancy dress to encourage children to read!
