As part of World Book Day celebrations on Wednesday 5 March 2014, we are giving the children (and grown-ups!) the chance to come to school dressed up as someone, or something, from their favourite book. You may find the following link useful to get ideas for relatively easy-to-make costumes:

Children should bring to school a copy of the book that their costume relates to, and show their favourite page from the book. All children will be presented with their World Book Day £1 token. We are not asking for donations for this - it really is just for fun!

173 Stanley pupils have signed up to participate in the national reading competition ‘Read for my school’, and have read an incredible 500 books so far! It's not too late to register if you'd like to join in. The challenge is open to all children in Years 3- 6, and the principle is simple- to read as many books as possible over the next few weeks, until Friday 28 March 2014!   

What you need to do:                                                                                                     

Register your child online at http://www.readformyschool.co.uk/app/#/api/user/login. Add relevant information to register your child and then type in our school ‘Reading Group Code’, 902219.
