PUPILS at a Norton school have celebrated World Book Day by creating an imaginary world within their classrooms.
World Book Day is the largest reading initiative in the UK and Ireland and encourages children to appreciate and learn from books.
Each classroom at Red House Junior School represented a different country.
As the children moved from room to room they learned about the different cultures represented.
Sandra Gray, junior school headteacher, said: "World Book Day is a wonderful opportunity for children to experience literature as a means to broaden their knowledge, stimulate their imagination and at the same time have fun.
"Reading is the gateway to learning and the pleasure of discovering the power of words at a young age can foster a love of books that will last a lifetime."
