World Book Day 3rd March 2022

Posted on by

We love to read in St. Gabriel’s N.S. We especially love to read on World Book Day! We are all thrilled to celebrate World Book Day in a variety of ways in our school this year! Here are a few of the activities we plan to take part in:

  • We’re going to enjoy some stories from our collection of Story Sacks.
  • We have a fun book trail to follow.
  • We will test our knowledge of books with some themed quizzes.
  • We are excited to share our reading with other classes this year, now that restrictions have lifted. Junior infants are looking forward to welcoming 2nd and 3rd class to read some stories.
  • We hope to design bookmarks and book covers.
  • We will read some of our favourite books and some new ones too!

Don’t forget, the World Book Day celebrations can continue at home! Every child in the school will receive a World Book Day book or a voucher on this special day. We encourage all children and parents to take some time to share a book at home together.
