WORLD BOOK DAY & BOOK FAIR Coming Soon!

 

St Joseph’s World Book Day and Book Fair
Thursday 2nd March 2023 

St Joseph’s World Book Day 2023 will take place on Thursday 2nd March. 

We have given each child a wooden spoon to decorate as their favourite book character.  On the 2^nd of March we would like the children to come into school wearing their favourite pyjamas, onesies or comfy clothes (to represent the idea of cosying up with a book!) with their decorated spoons and if possible a copy of the book the character is from.  The plan is to share books across the school in a variety of ways.   

We would also like the children to bring in a photo of them reading – this can be in their normal reading place such as in a comfy chair or in an unusual place such as in the park. 

In light of the tragic earthquake that has recently devastated Turkey and Syria we would like each child to contribute a £1.  The money collected will be donated to DEC (Disasters Emergency Committee).

To celebrate World Book Day, we will also 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.

Celebrate Reading at our Book Fair!

Children's Mental Health Week

 

Children's Mental Health Week

6th-12th February

This year's theme is Let's Connect

Let's Connect is about making meaningful connections for all, during Children's Mental Health Week, and beyond. People thrive in communities, and this connection is vital for our wellbeing.

As part of the GET ISLINGTON READING initiative sets of wellbeing books have been given to our library for the children to borrow.

GET ISLINGTON READING

 

NEW BOOKS

Diverse and Inclusive Books

&

Language Books

We have just received a delivery of new books to enhance the

growing stock of books that support our commitment to being an inclusive school.

It is important that every child should be able to see themselves in the books that they read. 

We are SO lucky with the new books we receive! Special thanks to #GetIslingtonReading for kindly purchasing new books to enhance our diversity and inclusive book collection and our language books.

We are delighted to continue working with the GIR to give children the gift of reading.

Reading Corners

 READING CORNERS

We now have some amazing reading areas throughout the school. 

Our children are never very far from an opportunity to read in comfortable surroundings.

Each corner has a wide variety of books, fiction, non-fiction, poetry, graphic novels, magazines, comics, and newspapers.

We really are putting reading at the heart of our learning making our children confident readers.

Reading for pleasure! Making it a pleasure to read!
