WORLD BOOK DAY

World Book Day at St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School and Nursery in Highgate was a fabulous celebration to highlight the joys of reading with wonderful costumes, competitions, story-telling and a book fair.

KS1 children

“World Book Day is a great way to get budding bookworms excited about reading and show how magical books can be,” says Head of School, Angela Noronha.

World Book Day costume competition winners

The children and staff came dressed as book characters and gathered for an assembly parading their costumes. What an amazing display of home-made creative costumes. A Year 6 child came as the entire Hans Christian Andersen tale ‘The Princess and the Pea’ including bed! We had a very convincing Sherlock Holmes and a fabulous book fairy!  The best costumes were awarded ‘Willy Wonka Golden Ticket’ style book vouchers to spend at our book fair and every child received a World Book Day £1 book token.

Dahlicious Dress Up

Roald Dahl Day

Friday 13^th September 2019

St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School, Highgate, celebrated Roald Dahl Day with a dazzling display of costumes. Every year we celebrate the birthday of the World’s No.1 Story-teller with our children coming to school dressed as their favourite characters from Roald Dahl’s stories. It was a ‘whizzpopper’ celebration with fun quizzes, games and costume prizes.

The children had an opportunity to parade their costumes in a whole-school assembly. Each class had the daunting task of selecting the best costumes which were awarded ‘Willy Wonka Golden Ticket’ style book vouchers. All the winners are invited to our Book Fair next month when they will exchange their Golden Tickets for a book of their choice.

The children showed amazing creativity in both their choice of characters and in hand-making their costumes. We had children coming as Roald Dahl himself and one child even came as the actual book ‘The BFG’!! Of course, we also had a troop of Fantastic Mr Foxes and numerous Mr and Mrs Twits.

To encourage imagination and the fun of reading children and teachers came to school dressed as their favourite book characters. The children were greeted in the morning by Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, otherwise known as Michal, the Premises Manager, the Senior Leadership and Administrative Team!!

The children had an opportunity to parade their costumes in a whole-school assembly. It was truly amazing to see such a display of the children’s creativity with many of the costumes home-made. We had characters from such celebrated books as J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series, Roald Dahl’s ‘Fantastic Mr Fox’ and ‘Matilda’.

All the winners were invited to our Scholastic Book Fair and with great excitement they all exchanged their Golden Tickets for a book of their choice.

                            

The children were also encouraged to participate in the World Book Day campaign of ‘Share a Story’ and they spent much of the day sharing stories with each other in class, in the library and in the playground; with older children reading to the younger ones.

Our week long Book Fair helped us celebrate World Book Day and gave the children an opportunity to get a book using their £1 World Book Day token.

Angela Noronha, Head of School, said “World Book Day is a great opportunity to raise the profile of reading across the whole school community and helps children to engage with books in exciting ways”.
