PUPILS in Portishead dressed as their favourite story characters to mark the beginning of the school's book week.

Youngsters at Highdown Infant School spent the day reading top tales, investigating characters and acting out scenes from a variety of different books.

The children will be celebrating reading for pleasure throughout the week with a range of activities to promote story telling and reading.
