World Book Day 2025

On Friday the 7th of March, we celebrated World Book Day 2025 in school. On this day we dressed up as different characters from books, movies or cartoons. Some of the outfits on the day were really cool, some people dressed up as princesses, superheroes, villains, sports players and Mr. Curran even dressed up as a traffic cone! We brought in our favourite books to look at in class and we had a disco at break time on the yard. We listened to music like ‘Let it Go’ and ‘Free from Desire’. Everyone wore great costumes on the day and it was the best World Book Day ever!!

World Book Day 2024

We celebrated World Book Day in school on Thursday the 7th of March. To celebrate this day, we all dressed up as our favourite characters from a book or a movie. Some of us chose to dress up as superheroes like Batman and Spiderman. There were a lot of costumes from movies too like Willy Wonka, Fantastic Mr. Fox and Wednesday Adams. Many pupils also dressed up as sports stars, like Clare players and soccer stars. In the infant classes, we all came together to listen to stories and play a few games. We also showed off our costumes and some of us brought in books that had our characters in them. At break time there was music playing and we had a little disco outside! We really enjoyed World Book Day and our favourite parts included reading books together and dressing up.
