World Book Day 2021 - Thursday 4th March 2021
World Book Day is a charity on a mission to help change children’s lives by making reading together and reading for pleasure a habit for life.
Reading for pleasure is the single biggest indicator for success in life, more than family circumstances, educational background, or income (Organisation for Economic Co-operation & Development).
Sharing stories together for just ten minutes a day will encourage a love of reading and it’s fun for everyone! You can read together anywhere and everywhere, from breakfast to bedtime! In the park, on the train, on the sofa, on a plane – reading and sharing stories can happen anywhere at any time.
This year, we would like our Year 2 children to recreate their favourite story through art. They can create a 'shoebox' scene from their favourite book. Have a look at the images below for some inspiration.

Reading
Reading is an important part of your child's learning. Taking the time to sit and read with your child is the most beneficial way of getting your child to read. Please aim to read with your child 5 times a week.
Please use the eBooks on the Oxford owl website. To find out which books your child is currently reading, please refer to your reading record, where it will inform you of the book band colour and which phonics phase this is.
Go to www.oxfordowl.co.uk
