World Book Day

On Thursday 7th March we celebrated World Book Day in St. Joseph's.  For us in St. Joseph's, EVERY DAY is World Book Day.  We have been so busy this Term with our Silent and Accelerated Reading, pairing up with Reading Partners in Primary 3 and Primary 7 and reading with our teachers in class.  

 

On World Book Day, the children participated in a variety of events, to include:

  • Some Year Groups joined hosts Maddie Moate and Joe Tasker, alongside a line-up of incredible authors including Alex Falase-Koya, space scientist Dr. Sheila Kanani, comedian and author Rosie Jones and official World Book Day illustrator Vivian Truong for the World Book Day Live lesson.  Pupils were able to 'dive deep' into fiction and non-fiction and explore different genres to help them design a pop-up library space where we can all come together to read.
  • Other classes created comic strips of their favourite books, read their favourite stories in class or listened to audio stories and tips from famous authors.  

 

We hope the children enjoy spending their World Book Day tokens and treat themselves to a new book.  Tokens are valid until
