A CELEBRATION OF WORLD BOOK DAY 2022
2022, was the year to celebrate the 25th anniversary of World Book Day. Our school enthusiastically participated and upheld the 'World Book day' Organisation message for all children ‘you are a reader‘!
At St. Michael's reading is a priority as it opens the world of knowledge to all and is the pathway to enhancing life skills. Our book day was filled with lots of exciting and celebratory ways to promote reading for pleasure. The day consisted of:
A character day costume parade;
A carousel of exciting book related activities in Phases;
A whole school community of a love for books and reading with the popular "Reading for Pleasure" (RfP) event with parents and extended families;
Story Time
An amazing Book Fair.
The day went really well and was a clear celebration of the importance of reading. Here are some pupil quotes:
