WORLD BOOK DAY
World
Book Day at St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School and Nursery was a
fabulous celebration. This year to tie-in with our local history week in school
the children were encouraged to DRESS UP as their favourite historical figure.
Both
children and staff came into school in an impressive array of costumes. It was
truly amazing to see such creativity with many of the costumes home-made. Throughout
the day assemblies and parades were held to give the children an opportunity to
share their costumes and stories of the diverse and inspirational historical
figures such as Amelia Earhart, Albert Einstein, Rosa Parks, Julius Caesar, Florence
Nightingale, and the flamboyant Frida Kahlo.
Our
week-long Book Fair helped us celebrate 25 years of World Book Day and gave the
children an opportunity to use their £1 World Book Day token to get a £1 off a
book of their choice at the Fair or to swap it for a World Book Day book.
“Sharing
the stories of historical people was an inspirational way to celebrate World
Book Day and get budding bookworms excited about reading,” said Mrs Rooney, School Librarian.
