Students are invited to take part by dressing up as a character from their favourite book and bringing a copy of the book they are representing. ### Creative Book Competition We will also be running a World Book Day competition. Students are encouraged to submit a creative representation of their favourite book. This could include: - A sketchbook featuring a favourite character or scene - A shoebox diorama representing the book - A vegetable carved into the shape of a favourite character All entries should be brought to the library at the start of the day on Thursday 5th March. They will be judged by a student panel at lunchtime on the same day. ### Pop-Up Book Event - Wednesday 4th March In addition, we are partnering with Winstone's Hunting Raven to host a pop-up book event on Wednesday 4th March. The event will take place in the library at lunchtime, where students will have the opportunity to browse and purchase from a selection of popular titles. Please note that this will be an in-person sales event rather than through ParentPay. Students wishing to purchase a book should bring money with them. Book vouchers may also be used towards selected titles. We look forward to celebrating World Book Day and sharing a love of reading across our school community.
