World Book Day

World Book Day was in full swing in Hazelwood yesterday. Kicking off with a bookmark design competition, the first and second years then each received a book for their own enjoyment. There was some exciting speed book dating and then some whole school DEAR time (drop everything and read) reminding us all that all of the technology in the world can’t beat a good book.
