The 3rd of March 2022 is the 25th anniversary of World Book Day.
World Book Day was created by UNESCO on 23rd April 1995 as a worldwide celebration of books and reading. It is celebrated all over the world on 23rd April but in the UK it always runs on the first Thursday in March. It is marked in over 100 countries.
Spending just 10 minutes a day reading and sharing stories can make a crucial difference to your future success and is fun for all involved. That’s why World Book Day continues to encourage children and young people to read for pleasure through its work with authors, illustrators, publishers, bookshops and libraries.

This week’s activities link to the following articles:
Article 17 (access to information from the media): Every child has the right to reliable information from a variety of sources, and governments should encourage the media to provide information that children can understand. Governments must help protect children from materials that could harm them.
Article 29 (goals of education): Education must develop every child’s personality, talents and abilities to the full. It must encourage the child’s respect for human rights, as well as respect for their parents, their own and other cultures and the environment.
Article 31 (leisure, play and culture): Every child has the right to relax, play and take part in a wide range of cultural and artistic activities.

Safer Internet Day is celebrated globally in February each year to promote the safe and positive use of digital technology for children and young people. Safer Internet Day 2022 is celebrated today, 8th February, with the theme ‘All fun and games? Exploring respect and relationships online’.
Mrs Reynolds will lead a worship on this today so if your child/ren come(s) home talking about this and asking questions, we hope the below activities and information will be useful.
The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child is all about ensuring the best possible childhood for every child and young person. All of the rights apply, all of the time, and this includes the time a child spends on the Internet. This week’s activities will explore the broad themes of Safer Internet Day with some of the activities linking to the right to relax and play (Article 31), protection from harm (Article 19) and to the importance of respect and dignity.
