WORLD BOOK DAY THURSDAY 3 MARCH

2nd Mar 2022

This year is the 25th Anniversary of World Book Day.

The theme of this special 25th Anniversary year is ‘I am a reader’.  To celebrate 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. Now is your chance to get creative, the list is endless!  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 this wherever they wish. As parents/guardians you may want to show your child the free books they can get with this on the World Book Day.

We look forward to seeing your ideas and costumes and having a fun WORLD BOOK DAY 2022!
