We are delighted to be celebrating the 19th World Book Day (3rd March) in Powerstown E.T.N.S. with a series of in-school events 29th February – 4th March 2016. Over the last 19 years World Book Day has become firmly established as Ireland’s biggest annual event promoting the enjoyment of books and reading. 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.
We are holding the following events in school during the week that we would love your support in:
-
Book Fair running until Tuesday 1st March
-
Dress as a book character Day Thursday 3rd March: your child is invited to come to school dressed as their favourite book character for the day!
-
Shared Reading: You are invited to come and join us for ‘Shared Reading’ events in each class during the week. ‘Shared Reading’ is a fun time where parents read story books to small groups of children. Books in other languages are welcomed! ‘Shared Reading’ will run as follows:
