It's been the one day in the school year when Mischief was allowed in the classroom.
Little Miss Mischief was one of the many Mr Men and Little Miss characters inside nursery and infants classrooms at Red House School today.
The Norton independent school, along with many others across the country, was celebrating World Book Day, and children were invited to dress up as characters from the series of books by Robert Hargreaves.
Each infant class chose their favourite as a group, while nursery children individually picked their own character.
Youngsters took part in a number of activities throughout the day with an aim of capturing imaginations and bringing a love of reading and learning to life.
Children were also given the opportunity to make a donation towards the World Book Day charity, Book Aid International, which sends books to children in Africa.
Sarah Tomlinson, head of marketing at the school said: “It’s a bit of fun, coming in and getting dressed up, but it’s also about inspiring the children.
“World Book Day is about encouraging them to develop a love of reading, and maybe becoming the writers of the future too.
“We’ve incorporated it into each class - in maths, they corrected sums Mr Wrong had got wrong, and in literacy they looked at the work of Robert Hargreaves and created their own stories.”
The youngsters were also taking part in a “create a Mr Red House” competition, with a prize for the winner in each class.
