THEY came off the page and into school assembly – characters from books, writes Dan Carrier. Pupils dressed as Cinder­ellas and Harry Potters to celebrate World Book Day at St Aloysius School, Somers Town. Meanwhile, at Holy Trinity CofE school, in Hampstead, children also donned costumes as part of a week of activities.
