World Book Day Thursday 4th March 2027

We will be celebrating this great event on Thursday 6th March by inviting the children (and adults) to come dressed as their favourite book character. Remember to look in the uniform swap shop for dressing up outfits. 

We would also love it if children could bring in a favourite book to share with their class.

Book swap - during break time on WBD, there will be an opportunity for children to swap a pre-loved book and pick up a ‘new’ one to take home and enjoy. If your child would like to take part then they will need to make sure they have a book, which is in good condition, and one that they are happy to give away!

£1 Books – each year the generous people at WBD team up with budding authors and produce books for a £1.  Waterstones in Alton have very kindly agreed that in exchange for our tokens they will provide a book for each child. This means all the children will come home with a shiny new book on that day!

During the week, the children will have the opportunity to take part in lots of exciting book-related activities but more importantly time to enjoy books with friends and staff.

Competition - This year we are running a decorate a potato competition where children will be invited to think about how a favourite book, could be represented as a potato! There are some examples above for you to have a look at, it’s really easy! 

Our Reading Champions will shortlist their favourite, alongside Miss Price, and then pick their winners who will receive a prize. These will be announced during Celebration assembly.

Good luck!

We can’t wait to share a booktastic day with your all!
