World Book Day 3rd March
This year, we have lots of events planned around World Book Day, details of some of these are below and more will be given over the coming weeks.
World Book Day Dress-up
On World Book Day, Thursday 3rd March, we would invite children to come to school dressed as their favourite book character. The costume does not have to be elaborate or expensive and there are ideas for simple homemade costumes here https://www.worldbookday.com/dressing-up-ideas/ We love seeing which books the children are enjoying, and it's a great way to get reading ideas from your friends by looking at their costumes.
Mystery Reader
We usually finish our school day with a story read by the class teacher or teaching assistant. During the week of World Book Day we would like to surprise the children with some 'Mystery Readers'. If you would like to come into school for the last 10 - 15 minutes of the day to share your favourite story with your child's class then please sign up here to let us know.

We have a limited number of opportunities across the week for the Mystery Readers, so there is a chance that we will not be able to invite everybody in on this occasion.
Story Potato Competition
We are also running a competition for any children that want a creative challenge. A 'story potato' is a potato decorated to represent a character from a story. If your child would like to take part in the competition then they should bring their potato to school on Wednesday 2nd March, please ensure that it is clearly marked with your child's full name and class.
Online Book Fair
We also have an online Book Club running with Scholastic Books here https://schools.scholastic.co.uk/marlow-ce/digital-book-club
All the books in the Book Club are discounted, some by as much as 50%. For every £1 you spend the school receives 20p to spend on books. You can see the leaflet for the Book Club here
