This week we celebrated World Book Day, and though the kids weren’t in school E was delighted to dress up as Mildred from ‘The Worst Witch’ and she is super excited as come this Friday she gets to dress up all over again but this time, she can wear her outfit in school.

Finally, she will be able to experience a little …
