This national event is on Thursday 6th March, and once again, we would like to celebrate the pleasure and enjoyment that books give us. On this special day, we would love to see the children dressed up as a book character of their choice. Please note, this is not compulsory and if your child does not want to dress up, this is absolutely fine. Also, please do not feel you need to purchase costumes; be inventive with current clothes, sheets or hats. For costume ideas, please visit the World Book Day website https://www.worldbookday.com/dressing-up-ideas. The children are also welcome to bring their favourite story with them to share with their friends. If your child brings in a book to school, please ensure that it is labelled with your child’s name to avoid any confusion.

WBD tokens

We have, once again, been fortunate to receive a £1 book token for every child in the school to spend on a new book. These will be given out on World Book Day, so keep an eye out in your child’s bag! Children can use their £1 token at a range of shops including Asda, Blackwell’s, Morrisons, Sainsbury’s, Tesco, Waterstones, WHSmith, The Works and hundreds of independent booksellers. Find your nearest bookseller at worldbookday.com/participating-retailers

We’re very much looking forward to celebrating World Book Day, which could not happen without the support of parents and carers – thank you.

Happy reading everyone!
