World Book Day @ St. Joseph's
On Thursday 5th March, we celebrated World Book Day in St Joseph’s. Of course, 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 enjoying reading time with our teachers in class.
On World Book Day itself, the children from Nursery to Year 7 took part in a wonderful variety of events and activities based on the theme of 'CHARACTERS' as we celebrated our love of books and reading.
- Nursery children painted or drew their favourite book characters.
- Years 1 & 2 enjoyed a storytelling session led by much‑loved story characters.
- Years 3 & 4 participated in an online art lesson with Sinead McDermott, inspired by Julia Donaldson’s The Snail and the Whale.
- Years 5–7 created their own Paper Bag Characters, which they brought to school on World Book Day and wrote a matching blurb for.
We hope the children enjoy spending their World Book Day tokens and treat themselves to a new book. Tokens are valid until Sunday 15th March.
