World Book Day
St
Joseph’s Primary School Celebrates World Book Day with Creative Dress-Up
In a celebration of literacy and
creativity, St Joseph’s Primary School marked World Book Day with children invited to come to
school dressed as a ‘word’; bringing language to life in a vibrant and
imaginative way.
The school was alive with children
transformed into colourful walking embodiments of words, such as triumphant, iridescent,
fatigued, spotty and storm, to name but a few. From "sparkling" princesses
to "enchanting" wizards, the costumes were as diverse as the words
they represented. All this sparked curiosity, conversation and excitement
throughout the school.
 |
| Children from Emerald Class dressed up in costumes that represent the words: 'retro', 'spotty', 'soldier', 'wizard', 'dazzle' and 'storm'. |
In the morning, a ‘reading swap’
was organised so that children in KS2 joined our children in KS1, Nursery and
Reception to share a beautiful moment reading with them.
St Joseph’s also hosted a Scholastic
Book Fair giving the children an opportunity to use their World Book Day £1
book token to either get a £1 off a book of their choice or swap it for one of
the especially published World Book Day books.

As the day ended, children
gathered for a special assembly where they joined in with a quiz and shared
their creative alternative book covers. Prizes of book vouchers for the book
fair were awarded to the winners of the best book covers. It was a fitting
conclusion to a day filled with creativity, laughter, and a shared love of
books.
The children all agreed that
they had the most magical, fun day sharing their favourite books.
Executive Headteacher, Miss
Clare McFlynn, expressed her delight at the creativity displayed by the children,
stating, "World Book Day is a wonderful opportunity for our children to
celebrate the joy of reading and language.”.

Our
Junior Librarians, Sadie and Cillian from Amethyst Class have been hard at work
with our digital lead, Mrs Suliga, preparing a robot to enhance our library
experience.

They
have been busy coding the robot to be able to assist children with recommending
books to read.

Sadie and Cillian
launched our library robot, BOOKYKID, this week in the library to classes.
They demonstrated
how BOOKYKID will be able to suggest books according to Year group and genres.

Just ask
"WHAT
TO READ NEXT?"
and you will get some brilliant suggestions from BOOKYKID.
Cillian and Sadie as part of their junior librarian responsibilities will be running lunchtime workshops to demonstrate to children how our library robot works.
We are so excited to
welcome our very special library assistant!

Book Fair
The
BOOK FAIR
has arrived!
Our celebrations for WORLD BOOK DAY have begun.
Classes have been visiting the Book Fair during the school day and the children have been
enjoying looking at the books and making Wish Lists that they can share at home.
If you wish to purchase any books from the Wish List you can pay for their chosen books using the online payment system at www.bookfairs.scholastic.co.uk/pay. Please make sure the Wish List is returned to school so that the books can be given to your child.
Children will be able to bring money to purchase books on the day that they are scheduled to come to the Fair. Please provide the money in an envelope clearly marked with their name and class and give it to your child, teacher or the school office.
Payments can be made at the fair using contactless and cash.
You can purchase gift vouchers or make payments online. Go to www.bookfairs.scholastic.co.uk/gift-vouchers to buy vouchers. Please let the school know what books have been purchased online so that we can give them to your child.
Remember when you buy one book we get one FREE for the library!
