World Book Day – Costume Ideas
If you’re unsure what to dress up as, here are some suggestions:
🎩 Use what you’ve already got.
A pinafore dress with an apron = Alice from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
A plain dress + homemade crown = A fairytale princess/king
All-black outfit + a paper mask = A mysterious cat
📦 DIY props from home
Cardboard + markers = swords, hats, magic wands!
Old clothes + imagination = pirates, detectives, superheroes…
💡 Keep it simple & stress-free
It’s the book character that counts — not a perfect outfit.

“Pupils say that they love coming to school. They rarely miss a day. Their behaviour in lessons and around school is good. Pupils listen carefully to teachers, and they are keen to answer questions in class. They work hard and produce well-presented work, of which they are rightly proud.”
