Standerton Primary School were transformed into a living library on 23 April, as learners traded their everyday uniforms for the costumes of their favourite literary icons.
From the whimsical capes of classic superheroes to the iconic spectacles of Harry Potter, the school buzzed with the energy of stories brought to life.
Teachers joined in the festivities, guided by the goal of fostering a lifelong love for reading.
The day was not just about the costumes; it was a vibrant reminder of how books can transport us to different worlds.
