Dear Parents/Carers,

We are excited to celebrate World Book Day with a fantastic line-up of visiting authors and engaging activities for the children!

 

On Wednesday, 5th March 2025, we will be welcoming author Wendy Shearer, who will be sharing stories from her books African and Caribbean Folktales, Myths & Legends and Black Tales from the Past.

 

On Friday, 7th March 2025, we will have two more inspiring authors joining us: Sufiya Ahmed (Noor Inayat Khan & Princess Sophia Singh) and Annemarie Anang (I Am Nefertiti).

 

World Book Day Dress-Up – Thursday, 6th March 2025

To celebrate the magic of storytelling, children are invited to dress up according to their allocated year group themes:

• Early Years: Disney or fairy tale characters
• Year 1 & 2: Storybook animals (e.g., fox, frog, sheep, Peter Rabbit, Jungle Book)
• Year 3 & 4: Marvel comic characters (spiderman, hulk, Captain America, Thor)
• Year 5 & 6: Mythical beasts (Dragon, Banshee, Bigfoot, Minotaur, Wolf, Mermaid)

We encourage creativity, and making an eco-friendly costume using recycled materials would be a wonderful way to get involved sustainably!
