World Book Day 2022

Details: Category: Latest News; Published: Sunday, 27 February 2022 05:58

Dear parent / s

This year (the 25th anniversary) we plan to celebrate World Book Day once again. We are aware that the official day is Thursday 03 March. However, we as a school we will celebrate the event on Friday 04 March.

Children from Nursery to P6 may dress in character.

We are very aware of the additional stress and cost this can cause on a family household especially in these challenging times and we do not wish to see large amounts of money spent!

Children may also choose to bring in a photograph reading in an unusual place, or a prop which reflects their favourite character. Other suggested activities include a photograph of a character’s dining table with clues and props to help others guess who the meal is set for.

Primary 7 may wear their casual clothes on the day and will be celebrating the 25th anniversary of World Book Day with ‘You are a Reader’ workshops and fun activities and challenges.

There is no expectation that everyone should be dressed in costume. We are very aware that some children will simply wish to come to school in uniform and enjoy the activities which will be based around World Book Day 2022. If any child does not wish to dress in costume it is also acceptable to send them to school on Friday 04 March in casual clothes.

Thank you for your continued support!
