World Book Day Fun in P2

6th Mar 2026

Today in Primary 2, we celebrated World Book Day with a very exciting surprise… a crime scene in our classroom! Someone had stolen all of our books!

The children became detectives and worked together to solve the mystery. They searched the classroom carefully for clues and used them to eliminate different book characters, narrowing down the list of suspects to uncover the thief.

Once they had solved the case, the children created fantastic “Wanted” posters to catch the culprit. It was wonderful to see such brilliant teamwork, communication and detective skills in action.

We had so much fun bringing books to life in a creative and engaging way!
