This year we
celebrated World Book Day on Friday 9th March due to the adverse
weather conditions.
World Book Day
Dress Up was a roaring success with all children and staff dressing up as their
favourite book characters. It was a chance for creativity to shine and many
costumes were home-made.
We had a costume
parade as part of our World Book Day Assembly and every child received a World
Book Day Token which they could use to get a special World Book Day Book from
the Book Fair.
The child with the
best costume from each class was awarded a golden ticket to be exchanged for a
book of their choice. They were all so brilliant so it was hard to choose.
Congratulations to
the following golden ticket winners: Diego, Fryderyk, Joe, Evie, Dominic, Isabella-Mia,
Ella-Grace, Reece, William, Anna, Celino, Frankie, Maisha, Nina, Leo, and
Georgine.
Share A Story was
the theme of this year’s World Book Day and the children were encouraged
throughout the day to share a story anytime and anywhere. Special stickers were
given to the children as a reward.
Nursery and
Reception classes visited Years 5 and 6 classes where they shared stories with
their buddies.
We invited one of
our local bookshops, Pickled Pepper Books, to arrange a Book Fair for the week and
we transformed our library into a mini-bookshop with a fantastic selection of
children’s books. We also had the wonderful World Book Day books for which the
children could exchange their World Book Day Tokens; a book for every child.
Together we raised
more than £700 and earned credit to use on new books for our school library. We
will be able to choose from the latest releases so that we keep up-to-date with
children’s books.
Thank you to
everyone for helping to make it such a fantastic day!
