World Book Day - Thursday 5th March
World Book Day is on Thursday 5th March this year. To celebrate, each child from Nursery up to Year 6 will receive a wonderful book to bring home with them.
As it is also ‘National Science Week’, we have arranged for ‘Professor Bubbleworks’ to come in and provide an amazing assembly and workshops for each year group throughout the day.
We have therefore given World Book Day a scientific theme this year. Please see list of books with links to science below. We would like to encourage children to read one of these books, or any other book with a link to science. Children can come to school dressed as one of their favourite characters.
