My favourite festival is a celebration of books and reading that takes place in my school every year.
Everybody wears a costume which is inspired by a character from a book. There’s a parade of floats
with different scenes from books. The people who are on the floats wear costumes to look like the
characters. This year, our float has a scene from a Philip Pullman novel. He’s my favourite writer and
I’m going as Pantalaimon. It’s an animal that constantly changes form, so I have three masks – a bird, a
leopard and a meerkat! At the end of the parade, there is a panel of judges who vote on the best float.
The team that wins first prize go on a writing course with a famous author! I hope we win!

My favourite festival is a celebration of music, but there are a lot of other things to see too.
There’s a market where people sell bohemian clothes and handcrafted headdresses that are
covered with
feathers. There are jugglers who juggle with fire and acrobats who walk on really high stilts. Last year
there was a mud-rolling competition (it often gets wet and muddy in the fields where the festival takes
place). The winner has to upload a selfie of themselves covered in mud! This year, I’m going to wear
a green and purple headdress that looks a bit like an exotic bird. It’s beautiful. I’m taking stilt-walking
classes at the moment, so I can join in with the acrobats. It’s not easy and you have to concentrate!
