It has been so wonderful to see children from across the school celebrating our Literacy Week theme of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by dressing up at home. Although this year's Literacy Week will be celebrated a little differently than usual, we hope that children enjoy immersing themselves in Roald Dahl's magical world through the online resources we have created.

We would also love to see how you have taken on your Easter challenge, so please send your related photographs and work to
