The theme for this years festival was 'read, grow and inspire' which encouraged the children to think about the books they have read that have encouraged them to do exactly that.
This year showed many inspired by Barbie and Harley Quinn, the ongoing love for Harry Potter as well as classics such as Where's Wally and the Cat in The Hat.
Meanwhile, the teachers getting involved opted for options such as characters from The Mr Men series, Mem Fox's 'Where's The Green Sheep' and 101 Dalmatians.
