WORLD BOOK DAY 2017 World Book Day this year will be celebrated on Thursday 2^nd March. All members of the school community will be dressing up as a favourite book character. We will be asking for a donation of £1 to the Book Aid International . This charity organises books for children in Africa who have no books. The children will have the opportunity to share their efforts with the rest of the school in a parade on Thursday morning. Each class teacher will choose the best outfit and we will put a photograph of each class winner on the website. We would like to invite any family members, who are interested, into school in the afternoon to read with their child, a small group or even the whole class. It is very important that your child has the opportunity to read with adults and to recognise the impact that reading has on furthering their academic achievements. We hope that this activity will allow them to see the value that we place in books. If you are willing and able please contact your class teacher. Remember, any reading is appreciated and this might be a story read in your home language or a story told with no text at all! Your child will be bringing home a token worth £1 this can be used as cash towards the purchase of a reading book by your child. They are only accepted by participating bookstores so please check the terms and conditions on the back of each token for more information on this.
