What a fantastic day celebrating reading in all it’s glory. Staff and students got creative with some truly wondrous costumes highlighting their favourite reads.
8 March 2024
Some of the reasons why we celebrate World Book Day?
- Children who own a book are three times more likely to read above age expected level
- There is a strong correlation between regular reading for pleasure and mental wellbeing
- Reading improves a child’s empathy skills
What book have you enjoyed reading? This is what some of our students said during World Book Day Yesterday,
Sanka, year 10 enjoys Macbeth “I find reading peaceful, a way to escape and enjoy learning”
Noughts and Crosses by Malorie Blackman “I like reading because you can escape to a different world” Ez, year 9
Good Omens by Jane Eyre “Reading expands your horizons, allowing you to understand different opinions and become well-rounded.” Rebecca, year 11
Tom, year 10 enjoyed Entangled Life “I find reading calms me down and helps me relax and night, I also find reading fun”
The mission is simple:
To promote reading for pleasure, offering every child and young person the opportunity to have a book of their own.
We love celebrating World Book Day as we recognise that strong literacy improves life chances and reading is a fundamental skill that all of our students need. World Book Day is a great opportunity to share our love of reading with lots of fun activities and dressing up.
We hope everyone enjoys World Book Day 2024. Miss Sheath, Assistant Headteacher
There’s also a great Einstein quote that we have on our library doors:
“The only thing that you absolutely have to know, is the location of the library,” – Albert Einstein.
