Here we see pupils and staff at Kirton Primary School marking World Book Week in 2012 by dressing as their favourite literary characters.

Literacy co-ordinator Jo Cheyne (pictured centre as one of a number of teachers who coincidentally took inspiration from The Wizard of Oz for their outfits) said: “We had quite a mixture of costumes.

“The children always make an effort and they enjoy themselves.”
