SCHOOLS all over Swindon are celebrating World Book Day today.
Kids have braved the cold to come to school in colourful costumes and take part in fun activities that highlight the joy of reading.
Pupils at Mountford Manor School were delighted when they received a donation of 30 books from Hays Education for their Key Stage 2 Library.
They enjoyed a storytelling session after the presentation, as a teacher read from Roald Dahl's classic Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
More to follow.
