For World Book Day, we invite all children to dress up as a character from their favourite book. We understand that due to the current cost of living crisis this may not be possible, so your child can also come dressed as a word, e.g. spotty, sporty or blue.

On the day, children will spend the afternoon celebrating reading, their favourite books and their favourite authors. All parents/carers are invited to join us for story time from 2:45pm. If you would like to join us, please go straight to your child’s classroom.

As part of World Book Day, your child will receive a £1 World Book Day token. The tokens are valid from Thursday 15^th February to Sunday 31^st March 2023. These can be spent in a range of book stores, as well as supermarkets such as Asda, Morrisons, Sainsbury’s and Tesco. This year, you can also exchange your vouchers at Compton Library!

On World Book Day, all pupils will be decorating a bun linked to their favourite book. These will be available to buy for 50p on the day. If you would like to purchase one, please send your child to school with 50p on the day. Any left will be sold after school on a first come, first serve basis outside each classroom. All money raised will be used towards trips and experiences.

We will also be hosting a Book Fair from Tuesday 5^th March to Monday 11^th March, 3:15pm – 3:45pm in the school hall. There will be a range of books you can purchase using cash or an online barcode. You will also be able to use your child’s £1 World Book Day tokens towards the cost.

This year, we are also inviting families to take part in our ‘Egg Character Competition.’ Please see the attached leaflet with more information. 

Yours sincerely,
