World Book Day & Book Fair

                                                                      



St Joseph’s

World Book Day

And

Book Fair

 

Thursday 3rd March 2022

 

St Joseph’s World Book Day 2022 will take place on Thursday 3rd March. The children are encouraged to DRESS UP as their favourite historical figure. This will tie-in with our local history week in school. We are really looking forward to seeing the children in their home-made outfits of diverse and inspirational figures such as Florence Nightingale, Albert Einstein, William Shakespeare and Rosa Parks to name but a few.

 

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 24th February – Thursday 3rd March

 

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

 

Where: New Conference Room
