World Book Day – 7th March 2024
Dress as your favourite book character:
Children are welcome to attend the Centre dressed as their favourite book character or alternatively they can dress in their play clothes, if they wish.
There is a rail available in the ECC corridor if you wish to place costumes which are in good condition and your child has outgrown as a Costume Swap Shop. Please take what you need and leave what you can.
Children can bring their favourite story books to the ECC from Monday 4th of March – Friday 8th of March. We will read the stories during the session to the children and then return them home.
Author Visit:
We are delighted that the author Rachel MaGaw will be visiting the ECC to celebrate World Book Day. She will read one of her books, The Kilted Coo, to the children and then help them to complete some experiences relating to the story.
Rachel will be in the School hall from 1.20 – 2.00pm on Thursday the 7th March selling signed copies of her book. Parents are welcome to attend during these times and purchase a copy. Alternatively, if you wish your child to buy a book, please provide the exact money in a sealed envelope. This should be clearly labelled with the title of the book you wish to purchase and your child’s name, and hand it to your child’s Key Worker on the morning of 7/3/24. Please find a pricelist attached. Please note – book sales are cash only.
Book Swap Box:
Our Book Swap Box is available throughout the year in the main ECC corridor. If you have any books in good condition, which your child no longer reads please donate them to the Book Swap Box for others to enjoy.
Please take a book from the box to enjoy at home, then return it when you have finished.
