World Book Day - 5th March 📖

24th Feb 2026
📚✨ Book Swap Day – Thursday 5th March! ✨📚
 
We are delighted to announce our Book Swap Day, taking place on Thursday 5th March as part of our World Book Day celebrations! 🎉📖
 
Throughout that week, each class will be taking part in a range of exciting literacy activities to celebrate the joy of reading. The week will culminate in a fantastic Book Swap event in the school hall!
 
🔄 How it works:
Children can bring in a book from home and swap it for another book to enjoy on 5th March. A wonderful way to refresh bookshelves and discover new stories!
 
📚 Book Donations Welcome!
We are currently collecting donations of good-quality, unwanted books. If you have any at home, please send them into school and place them in the box at the reception area.
 
☕📖 Parents’ Pop-Up Book Stand
On the morning of Thursday 5th March, we will also have a pop-up stand where parents can borrow a book to enjoy themselves. If you have books suitable for adults that you’d like to share, please feel free to send them in too.
 
Thank you for your continued support in promoting and celebrating literacy in our school community. Together, we can keep the love of reading alive! ❤️📚✨
