The whole school community came together to celebrate World Book Day today when a host of characters descended upon St. Joseph’s. Always a popular event on the school calendar, the theme for the day was  Heroes and Villains or pyjamas ready for a bedtime story. Children and staff arrived in the guise The Evil Snow Queen, Mario and Luigi, Coraline, Cruella de Vil, The Joker, Cowardly Lions, Where’s Wally, Cowgirls, Soldiers, Disney Princesses galore and many many more.

There were book- based activities throughout the day plus online performances by award winning author Michael Rosen. At the end of the day parents were invited to come to school to read with their child for pleasure .  Days like these really focus the children on specific areas of learning and we hope the flair and enthusiasm shown on the day will translate to a lifetime of enjoyment from books, whether fiction, non-fiction, poetry or prose.

Thank you to all parents and carers who helped make the day a roaring success by creating and providing the brilliant costumes.
