World Book Day

Students at Saint Paul’s are taking part in a remote World Book Day on 4th March, the biggest celebration of books and reading in the world.

World Book Day was designated by UNESCO as a worldwide celebration of books and reading, and is marked in over 100 countries around the globe. A main aim of World Book Day in the UK and Ireland is to encourage children to explore the pleasures of books and reading.

We have the following activities planned:

Harry Potter digital escape room – the students can do this in their free time or during an English lesson (if they have one on the day) click the link https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSflNxNM0jzbZJjUqOcXkwhGTfii4CM_CA3kCxImbY8c3AABEA/viewform
