On March 5th, 2020 we celebrated World Book Day with a host of enjoyable activities for all our budding readers. Pupils had the option of dressing up as their favourite book character on the day. Literacy-based art competitions were held in which some children designed book covers or book-marks. Pupils from the senior classes read a selection of poetry for the whole school. The  poems were broadcast over the school intercom to be enjoyed by all classes. 

The Book Fair was also held in the school during that week. There was an amazing selection of books for all ages supplied by the Scholastic Book Company. A group of parents were very busy managing the sales and supplies every morning and afternoon. It was a wonderful initiative to promote the love of reading among all our pupils. In addition, all the children received a book token to get a free book or a discount off a book at the fair. Mrs. Bastick, who co-ordinated the event, was thrilled with the level of interest that was generated to encourage reading and the love of books. Our school benefits from a substantial share of the profits which allows us to restock the School Library.
