I thought since we were now a home ed family, I’d get out of sorting World Book Day costumes but it appears not! The girls had to make do with outfits created from things they could find in the cupboards this year. Aggie dressed as Con from The Explorer and Peggy as Aslan from The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. They enjoyed showing their outfits off on their online piano, Spanish and English lessons.

Aggie took part in a WBD event organised by the Anne Frank Trust. They interviewed Tom Palmer about his book After the War which Aggie read especially for the event. Aggie loves anything to do with WW2 and really enjoyed the interview.
