Today at Sacriston Academy, staff and children dressed to impress as their favourite book characters for World Book Day.
A range of themes were evident to see from David Walliams to Harry Potter characters, Roald Dahl to fairy story characters, heroes, villains and even comic book stars.
Mr Hawkins in the office was a particularly big hit with his Fred the Frog costume from Read, Write Inc!
The theme of World Book Day this year is to share a story. So as well as lots of opportunities to share stories old and new today, we have also been discussing who we love sharing a story with.
Well done everyone - the costumes get better and better every year!
