Dear parent
World Book Day is on 7th March when schools and homes are encouraged to celebrate and motivate children to read variety of books and to support the children to develop awareness that some children in the world do not have access to books and need help from other people. A token is attached in the physical copy of this letter given to you for your child to use towards buying a book at any participating bookshops, see the back of the token for more information . Your favourite groceries stores such as Asda, Tesco and WH Smith are participating too, so you can use your token there.
As part of the world book day programme at the nursery, our pre-school children and toddlers will be doing lot of arts and crafts, storytelling/acting at circle time, sharing books and talking about countries in Africa where children are in need of books supply. We will explore our favourite books such as ‘We are Going on a Bear Hunt and ‘Dear Zoo’. The children and their teacher will be going bear hunting in the garden ! We may also watch a video about ‘World Book Aid’ Our focus for the next two weeks are to promote independent, quiet and shared reading, expressive art and understanding the world. Parent should also look out for ‘ Dear Zoo Live’ on stage coming up in March at your local theatre across the country. This will be a great family show! Also look out for posters around the nursery or click here to find your nearest location.
