St Joseph’s World Book Day and
Book Fair
Thursday 6th March 2025
St Joseph’s World Book Day 2025 will take place on Thursday 6th March.
On the 6th of March we would like the children to come
into school dressed as a ‘word’.
Your child may come to school dressed as an adjective such as “colourful” and
wear their rainbow clothes; other adjectives may include: contagious, sparkly,
spotty or horrifying. Alternatively, they may come to school as a noun and dress
as “Christmas” in their best Christmas jumper or “Princess” in their favourite
costume. There are lots of examples online and we encourage you to be as
creative as you can be. We would also like all children to redesign an
alternative book cover for their favourite books illustrating it with colourful
images. There will be £5 book vouchers for our Book Fair to be won for the best
book covers.
To celebrate World Book Day, we will also be hosting a Book Fair, with hundreds of new children’s
books to browse and buy. With prices starting from only £2.99, there’s
sure to be a book for everyone.
Celebrate Reading at our Book Fair!
Please follow this link to your Book Fair Invitation scholastic-book-fair-invitation-spring-2025-2299252.pdf.
At the fair you will be able to purchase books using
contactless credit or debit cards or cash.
If you’re unable to visit the book fair, your child
will be sent home with a Wish List and you can pay for their chosen
books using the online payment link 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.
Pre-paid
gift vouchers are also available. Go
to www.bookfairs.scholastic.co.uk/gift-vouchers to buy vouchers.
Your child will have an opportunity to visit
the book fair during the school day with their class.

They will be able to bring in cash to purchase books
on that day or they will be given a Wish List. Please put money in an envelope clearly marked
with your child’s name and class.
Every child will also receive a World Book Day £1 Book Token
that can be used at the book fair if they so wish or swapped for one of the
World Book Day books either at our fair or at your local bookseller. To find
out more about World Book Day and how you can use the £1 book token log-on to www.worldbookday.com.

Don’t forget that every book you buy helps towards FREE
BOOKS for our school library. The last Scholastic
Book Fair was a huge success for St Joseph’s making over £2000 in FREE BOOKS.
We thank you for your support and look forward to
seeing you at the book fair.
