Let’s Celebrate Reading

Cornelius Vermuyden
March 2, 2021

On the 4th of March it is World Book Day. This is a day where we celebrate reading. Reading is a wonderful thing that can make you more clever and imaginative. From giving you a great vocabulary to relaxing you and taking away from the stresses of everyday life, reading is the gift that keeps giving!

World Book Day 2021

Book Tokens

You will receive a book token that lets you select from four books (FOR FREE):

  • Sky Steppers by Katherine Rundell
  • The River Whale by Sita Brahmachari
  • Skulduggery Pleasant: Apocalypse Kings by Derek Landy
  • Kill Joy by Holly Jackson

Visit the World Book Day Website (https://www.worldbookday.com/)

It has lots of ideas how you can become involved: there are author podcasts, live digital events meeting authors, book based social feeds, and loads more!

What can we do?

We thought it would be fantastic if you could write your own Book Review. Parents and Guardians too. Go on we dare you!

We want you to tell us about a book you really like:

  • Tell us about the characters
  • A bit about the storyline
  • Why it is so special to you
  • Is there a message in the book? Or is it just entertaining?
  • What genre is it? Romance? Fantasy? Teenage?
  • Is it a non-fiction book?

You can choose how you want to do this:

  • You can simply write it and give it to your English teacher when we return to school
  • You can submit it to your teacher on Show My Homework
  • You could make it really colourful and make a presentation using PowerPoint or similar
  • You could design a poster to go with your book review
  • You could even record yourself!

There will also be a display of your reviews in school, and, yes, there will be some prizes!
