We had a fantastic time celebrating World Book Day at school, with a day full of books, imagination, and lots of happy readers!
Our celebrations began in the morning with the BRW Reading Café. Parents and carers joined us in school to share stories and enjoy reading together with their children. It was wonderful to see everyone relaxing with a good book, chatting about their favourite characters, and starting the day with a love of reading.
The school was bursting with creativity as pupils came dressed as their favourite book characters, walking words, or in cosy pyjamas ready for a day of reading. From magical wizards and adventurous explorers to some very imaginative word costumes, it was fantastic to see so many brilliant ideas brought to life.
We also enjoyed a special Librarian’s Saint Assembly, where the children learned about St Jerome, the patron saint of librarians and translators. The assembly helped us understand his important work translating the Bible and why he is remembered as someone who dedicated his life to books, learning and sharing knowledge with others.
During the day, children also took part in an exciting World Book Day scavenger hunt, searching for clues and book-themed surprises around the school. A big congratulations goes to Year 6, who were crowned the winners and earned the BRW Big Booky Breakfast prize!
Most importantly, the whole school spent time doing what World Book Day is all about — enjoying books and sharing the joy of reading. Classrooms were filled with stories, laughter, and discussions about favourite books.
A huge thank you to all the parents and carers who joined us for the Reading Café and helped make the morning so special. It was a wonderful celebration of reading and a reminder of how powerful and enjoyable books can be.
Happy World Book Day! 📖
