Dear Parents/Guardians,
This week we will be celebrating World Book Day (Thursday 2nd March) in Powerstown E.T.N.S. with a series of in-school events all week. The main aim is to encourage children to explore the pleasure of books and reading by providing them opportunities to read books within school and also at home.
We are holding the following events in school during the week that we would love your support in:
Ash Class Shared Reading: Thursday 2nd March 8:30am
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!
Dress as a book character Day Thursday 2nd March
Your child is invited to come to school dressed as their favourite book character for the day! We will be having a parade in the morning around the school, dressed as our favourite characters.
Ideas for homemade costumes can be found here: http://www.worldbookday.com/dressing-up/
Poster Competition: Home Project:
Children are encouraged to enter this competition by drawing or painting a scene, setting or a character from their favourite book. This should be completed at home with parents. There will be a prize for one child from each class and a display board of the posters.
