World Book Day

Dear Families,

World Book Day 2025, a celebration of authors, illustrators, books and (most importantly) reading, will take place on Thursday 6^th March. The theme this year is ‘Read Your Way’ and encourages children and adults to discover how much fun and enjoyment they can have when reading or sharing a book.

We will be taking part in the celebrations and, if they wish, children can come to school dressed as a character from a fiction or non-fiction book of their choice. This could be from a traditional fairy tale, a science fiction story, an adventure story, a story by their favourite author, an information text – the possibilities are endless! There are some ideas on the World Book Day site: https://www.worldbookday.com/resource/dressing-up-ideas-for-parents/

We would love to invite you into school to join in the celebrations with us on Thursday 6^th March. Each year group will be holding a half hour session for you to come and read with your child(ren). The timings are below:

Time slot	Year Group
9.15 – 9.45am	Year 4
9.45 – 10.15am	Year 2
10.15 – 10.45am	Year 3
1.15 – 1.45pm	Year 1
1.45 – 2.15pm	Year 5
2.15 – 2.45pm	Year 6
2.45 – 3.15pm	Reception

In addition, children will receive a book token (valid from 13^th February to 23^rd March) to the value of one pound that they will be able to spend in participating shops. Terms and conditions are on the tokens so please check them before you use them.

There are more activities that you can share at home with your child. Details can be found on the World Book Day website: https://www.worldbookday.com/families/

We are excited about the day and look forward to seeing you celebrating with your child in school.

Thank you for your support.
