The fantastic world of the jungle came to Tavistock Primary School today, Thursday (March 5) for World Book Day.

Their imaginations were sparked by tales of explorers and wild animals from their favourite stories such as Jungle Book.

The centrepiece of the celebration of books for pleasure, rather than learning, was a giant den which they explored with torches amid shrieks of excitement.

Teacher Emily Smith said: “It’s so rewarding to do something outside the curriculum and see the children free their imaginations and be themselves, albeit as their favourite characters which are often expressions of themselves.”
