World Book Day 2024 UPDATE

Apologies for the error in the previous post, World Book Day will be celebrated on THURSDAY next week, 7th March.

A wee reminder that chidlren are encouraged to come to school dressed as a book character or wearing their pyjamas and bringing their favourite bedtime story.

On Monday next week, children will be visiting the Book Fair with their class to make their wish list. Parents/carers then have the opportunity to purchase the books online. (Instructions will be noted on the wish list sent home.)

Next Tuesday, we will be selling Bargain Books from the Book Fair, priced £2 or less. These will be cash only sales as these books cannot be reordered once purchased. Children will be given the chance to purchase from the Bargain Books stall on Tuesday only, so please send them with money on this day, should they wish to look.

We will be holding our Big Book Swap on Thursday. If you have any old books in good condition that your child no longer reads, please send them into school, any day from Monday. Mrs Clarke will issue your child with a ticket which will enable to be first to visit the book swap on Thursday to choose a new book.

In addition to this, running all of next week, we are having a ‘GET CAUGHT READING’ competition, where children are to upload a photograph of themselves reading in a different or unusual place, and add this to their Learning Journals as a Parental Contribution.

Our P7 Reading Schools Champions will then review the uploads and will choose a winner to receive a free book from the Book Fair! These photos must be uploaded by Wednesday and the winner will be shared on World Book Day, on Thursday.

Celebrating World Book Day 6/3/24

On Wednesday 6th March we will be celebrating World Book Day at school.

Children are invited to come to school dressed as a character from a book or to come dressed in their pyjamas bringing their favourite bedtime story.

The Book Fair will be arriving at school that week. Children will visit the Book Fair with their class and will create a ‘Wish List’ that they will bring home. Parents/carers, then have the opportunity to make any purchases online, should they wish.

On World Book Day, we will be holding a ‘Big Book Swap’. If your child has any books they no longer read, which are in good condition, they can bring them to school on the Wednesday, to swap for a new book which they can take home.
