\"world-book-day-2017\"<\/p>\n

This upcoming week, World Book Day<\/b>, the annual celebration of books and reading for children and young people, celebrates its 20th anniversary on Thursday 2nd March 2017.\u00a0 As usual, we plan to have a fun-packed day of literature enjoyment:<\/p>\n

Book Character Dress Up (Whole School):<\/h4>\n

All the children throughout the school are encouraged to come dressed like one of their favourite book characters. It always great fun to see everyone dressed up in their creative, homemade costumes and to appreciate the wide range of books enjoyed across the school.<\/p>\n

School Council Book Swap (Whole School):<\/h4>\n

Bring in a book (or 2 or 3) and swop it for a different book. Bring books in from Monday onwards (Wednesday the latest) and give them to your teacher.\u00a0 You\u2019ll get to choose your new book on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Visit from British West Indies Collegiate School (Years 1-6)<\/h4>\n

Students from the BWIC will be coming to perform some story dramas and to read to us.\u00a0 We have enjoyed this connection on World Book Day for a few years and it has become a much-loved part of our celebrations.<\/p>\n

Storytelling Evening (Whole School) 5:00-600pm.<\/h4>\n

We are once again very excited to be hosting ‘A Storytelling Evening’. David Bowen has kindly offered to start the evening off by sharing an ‘Anansi the Spider’ folktale on the stage.\u00a0 After this, teachers\/other adults will be reading stories in the classrooms and around the school.\u00a0 Let your child\u2019s teacher know if you would like to read a story.\u00a0 The children are encouraged to come dressed in their PJs and to bring along their favourite night time cuddly toy companion and a comfy pillow or blanket.\u00a0 The PTA has offered to provide cookies and milk to add to the evening\u2019s bedtime story time atmosphere.<\/p>\n
