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.
