It's World Book Day today (in case you hadn't noticed) so the timetable for the day is a little different.  All Zoom links are on the blog.

Show off your costumes and take part in a family quiz - see the blog for details

 

10:30am  - World Book Day LIVE – Bringing Reading to Life
Join authors Joseph Coelho & Fiona Lumbers, Tom Fletcher and Lydia Monks and special guest Rob Biddulph, sharing their stories and how words and pictures bring stories to life.   Hosted by Nigel Clarke, TV presenter.

Please note: if the live author event 'runs over' these Zoom times will be delayed.
