WORLD BOOK DAY 2023
WORLD BOOK DAY this year is on Thursday 2nd March
To celebrate World Book Day we are having a dress up day in school where we are encouraging all of our children to come to school dressed as their favourite character from a book.
We also encourage the children to bring a copy of their book with them, if they have it.
On World Book Day all classes will have a day focusing on reading and books. Some pupils will watch events hosted by Scholastic, Puffin live and BBC TEACH live lessons.

Primary 7 children will spend time reading to Primary 1 children, before joining other classes in the school, to complete a sponsored ‘ Readathon’.
Classes have been learning the very catchy’World Book Day’ song to the tune of ‘Shotgun’.
Every child will receive a World Book Day £1 token to take home. They can spend it in a number of retail outlets listed below. As parents/guardians you may want to show your child the free books they can get with this on the World Book Day.
