This year our Book Week Parade will be on Monday 9th September beginning at 9am. All children are welcome to dress up as their favourite book character or something linked to the theme ‘reading is magic’. All parents and family members are welcome to join us to celebrate Book Week.

​Book Week is a special time in primary school. Book Week is a celebration of books, reading and imagination. Book Week is based on the idea, that a week-long book party, can extend throughout the weeks, months and years, creating a love of reading in children and adults!

The 2024 Book Week theme, “Reading is Magic,” celebrates the enchanting power of books to transport readers to new worlds, spark their imaginations, and evoke a sense of wonder. This theme beautifully aligns with the Positive Psychology principles of awe and wonder, which are crucial for enhancing wellbeing.

Books have an unparalleled ability to evoke these feelings of awe and wonder. Through storytelling, readers can experience awe by encountering grand, elaborate stories, complex characters, and fantastical worlds that stretch their imagination and understanding. The magic of reading lies in its power to immerse readers in experiences far removed from their own reality, prompting feelings of wonder and curiosity.
