World Book Day

World Book Day 2018 

It's an exciting week this week in school, we are visiting Narnia and we even have the snow to make it feel really authentic. The themed week is being held to coincide with World Book Day, which is on Thursday 1st March. This is a special day when authors, adults and children celebrate books and the love of reading. As usual there are 10 books written and published by well known authors which cost £1 each. They are only available from bookshops and selected supermarkets. You can exchange your World Book Day token for one of these books, which effectively means that it is free.
For more information, inspiration, games and videos go to www.worldbookday.com.

The book fayre will be arriving in school next week on Thursday 8th March. It will be open until 4pm on Thursday 8th, Friday 9th and Monday 12th March. It will be located in the junior hall. If you decide not to use your World Book Day token at the shops you can use it to get a £1 discount off the price of a book. Come and have a look at the selection on offer.

Everything Changes When We Read.
