World Book Day – Thursday 7th March 2024
We will be celebrating World Book Day in school and nursery, with lots of book-related activities, including shared reading across classes. Children can come to school or nursery dressed as a book character OR they can just wear comfy reading clothes instead.
Competitions
We will not be holding a ‘best costume’ competition this year, as we do not want to put pressure on parents to spend money on costumes etc. Instead, we will be holding the following competitions for children:
- Extreme reading – email class teachers or the school office a photo of your child reading in an extreme or unusual location. Previous entries include children sat in a chicken coop, on a tube on the London underground, or even in the bath. Be as imaginative as you wish!
- Potato, pebble or paper plate –Â decorate a potato or a pebble or a paper plate however you like, as long as it relates to a book. The photos below show children’s potato book characters from a few years ago and might give you some ideas!
