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.

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.”.
