World Book Day
World Book Day is a wonderful opportunity to promote a ‘love of learning’, one of our school aims. On Friday, the whole school had lots of fun celebrating World Book Day. This annual event is a collaborative celebration of reading, books, authors and illustrators. Reading is at the heart of our curriculum, and developing a love of books and reading inspires children to read for pleasure. It was lovely to see so many children dressed up as book characters; they all looked wonderful. A big thank you to parents and carers for your help in providing the costumes. Children also enjoyed sharing their favourite books and making recommendations to one another.
Every child came home with a £1 World Book Day token. These can be exchanged for one of the exclusive 2024 World Book Day books or, £1 can be redeemed against the full price of another book. You have until 31st March to use the voucher. More information can be found on the website. World Book Day £1/€1.50 Books and Tokens - World Book Day
Open a Book
Open a book,
And you will find,
People and places of every kind.
Open a book
And you can be,
Anything you want to be.
Open a book
And you can share,
Wondrous words you find in there.
Open a book
And I will too,
You read to me
And I’ll read to you!
