Going to school on the first Thursday of March always feels a little different as both students and teachers get into the spirit of World Book Day by dressing up as characters from their favourite books.

World Book Day started in 1995 and is currently celebrated in over one hundred countries to promote books and encourage children’s love of reading. It was first celebrated in the UK in 1997 and has grown bigger every year with free resources, activities, competitions and a voucher given to each student to exchange for a free book.

You can find this year’s resources and book list at www.worldbookday.com and sign up for their newsletters to stay informed.
