We will be celebrating International World Book Day on Friday with a number of fun activities in school, all with PRIZES!
1. Decorate-a-Door-as-a-Book. This popular and delightful competition will be judged at 1 pm, and to make sure the judges see all the doors I need to have the entry forms by the end of Friday morning break.
2. There will be a Match the Book Cover to the Book competition in the Library
3. Dress up as a Book Character at lunchtime in the Library. Character parade starts at 1.30 in the Library.
It is also St George's Day, the feast day of St George, patron saint of England as well as of Catalonia in Spain. The origins of World Book Day come from Catalonia, where roses and books are given as gifts to loved ones on St. George’s Day – a tradition started over 80 years ago on the feast day of their patron saint, and the anniversary of the great Spanish writer Cervantes who wrote Don Quixote.
It is also the anniversary of William Shakespeare, a fitting day to celebrate books and reading.
