And

Book Fair

St Joseph’s World Book Day 2019 will take place on Thursday 7th March.  The children are encouraged to DRESS UP as their favourite book character. There will be a COMPETITION for the best costumes with prizes of book vouchers to be used at our Book Fair.

To celebrate World Book Day we will 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.

When: Thursday 28^th February – Thursday 7th March

Times: 8:40 – 9:00am and 3:00 – 3:45pm

Where: New Conference Room

If you are unable to attend the Book Fair, books can be purchased in the following ways:

1. You can browse books online with your child at bookfairs.scholastic.co.uk/parents.

To make a purchase send the money or the discounted Gift Vouchers purchased online into the school office in an envelope clearly marked with your child’s name, class and title(s) of book(s).

2. Your child can select their own book(s) during the school day. Please provide the money in an envelope clearly marked with their name and class and give it to your child or the school office.

Every child will also receive a World Book Day £1 Book Token which can be used at the Book 

Fair.

A mini catalogue will be sent home. Please check your child’s school bag.

We will also be joining the nationwide event to enjoy the pleasures of reading and SHARE A STORY on World Book Day, giving out stickers to all the children who participate. Spending just 10 minutes a day reading and sharing stories with children can make a crucial difference to their outcome and its fun for all involved. You can read together anywhere and everywhere, from breakfast to bedtime! Please join-in!

Don’t forget that every book you buy can help towards FREE BOOKS for our school library! The last Scholastic Book Fair was a huge success for St Joseph’s making nearly £2000 in FREE BOOKS for our Library. We hope it can be even bigger and better this time.

Thank you for your continued support and happy WORLD BOOK DAY!
