2023 Celebrating World Book Day
On Friday 3rd March pupils and staff dressed up as their favourite book character to celebrate World Book Day - everyone looked amazing!
World Book Day 2023
We will be celebrating our collective love of reading at Long Lane by dressing up for World Book Day on Friday 3rd March this year. Please encourage your child to think about how they could bring a favourite book to life by dressing as a character or wearing an outfit to represent their chosen book. Here are some creative ideas to help.

2021 Winter Reading Challenge
If your child enjoyed this year’s Summer Reading Challenge, they may be interested to hear about the current Winter Mini Challenge. This is all online, so no need for children to collect anything in libraries. But there is a fun website, where children can find games and book-related activities, along with ideas for what to read next. You can set up a personal profile on the site and anyone who reads and logs 3 books by 16 January can download a certificate and a limited-edition virtual badge. The website address is wintermini.org.uk.
The ‘story’ of the Winter Challenge takes the same Wild World Heroes characters as in the Summer Challenge to a new adventure in the Arctic, where they find out about the creatures that live there and some of the environmental issues facing this region. I hope that children will find this both interesting and fun.

Celebrating World Book Day
World Book Day 2021 was a little different this year, but Long Lane children and staff still managed to celebrate their love of books and reading in style. Both at home and in school, we have enjoyed a whole week of activities, including Masked Reader competitions, My Favourite Book show and tell, Author and Illustrator Academy workshops, quizzes, reading challenges, special lessons, daily story times and even a pyjama party bedtime story. Our children have been very creative, building puppet theatres to retell favourite stories, making books, redesigning front covers and creating story characters from potatoes!
Remember to use your World Book Day book token to exchange for a free book (World Book Day 2021 special editions) or to get a £1 discount from a book of your choice (costing £2.99 or more).
