WORLD BOOK DAY 2026

WORLD BOOK DAY 2026 - FRIDAY 6th March 2026

 

World Book Day is nearly here and we will be celebrating with a special assembly - THE MASKED READER!

 

This year we have four new contestants...

 

The Mad Hatter

The Cat

The Crazy Creature

The Hero

 

Each contestant will read a favourite book during a special LIVE assembly. Then you will have a chance to guess WHO is BEHIND the MASK!

 

WATCH the trailer now in the VIDEO section of the school website.

 

We will be celebrating reading for pleasure with a whole host of events throughout the day concluding with the creation of the Rose Lane Reading Fair! This is an exhibition of the children's work completed during World Book Day. Come and see the magnificent work displayed in the Flourish Hall and while you are there, why not swap a book or even buy a new one at our Book Swap shop. The exhibition and Book Swap shop will be open from 3:15pm.

 

As always, each child will return home with a special voucher enabling them to buy a brand new book for only £1! This year Marks Gate Library will be selling the World Book day books from 3:30-6pm on the 16th March. They will be fully stocked with all the World Book Day titles - just bring a pound and your voucher to be able to take a new book home!
