World Book Day celebrates its 25th birthday on 3rd March 2022 with a focus on helping children discover a love for reading. This will be the charity's biggest campaign to date, providing more  opportunities for children to receive their £1 book. The theme is 'You are a reader'.

Fielding will be celebrating World Book Day on 4th March and this year, we are NOT asking pupils to dress up but to get creative in another way. Teachers will be asking pupils to design a shoe box scene from part of their favourite book and use this to recommend a book to their class. For example, if a pupil likes Fantastic Mr Fox then they could make the foxes in the tree with their family, or Miss Honey’s classroom complete with a lizard in a glass. Please see some examples below for ideas.

Some pupils may choose to bring in the shoe box scene on 4th March while others may prefer to take a video or photo of them to be shared by Microsoft Teams during the day. In line with the theme  'you are a reader',  alongside the shoebox, pupils are encouraged to bring in their favourite book so they can share it with their class in a 'ten minute read' during the day.

We'd like to take this opportunity to remind parents about our 40 recommended reading book challenge. It's a pleasure to see so many children earning their certificates. If you have any of these books, or others by the same authors, that are no longer needed at home, please donate to one of our libraries. Mrs Hodge and our team of pupil librarians will be more then happy to receive them!
