World Book Day

World Book Day in Ireland is on Thursday 5th March 2015. The main aim is to encourage children to explore the pleasure of books and reading by providing them with an opportunity to have a book of their own. This may sound like a very simple idea, but unfortunately, many children do not have access to books in their homes.

There are lots of fun creative ideas and activities for you to explore to celebrate World Book Day with your child, over the coming weeks. More information can be found at:http://worldbookday.com/world-book-day-ireland/

The resource pack is available to download at: http://worldbookday.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Primary-Resource-Pack.pdf

Each child will receive a book token, which entitles them to ONE FREE €1.50 WORLD BOOK DAY BOOK at your local book store.’
