World Book Day is a registered charity on a mission to give every child and young person a book of their own. It’s also a celebration of authors, illustrators, books and (most importantly) it’s a celebration of reading. In fact, it’s the biggest celebration of its kind, designated by UNESCO as a worldwide celebration of books and reading, and marked in over 100 countries all over the world.
This is the 23rd year there’s been a World Book Day, and on 5th March 2020, children of all ages will come together to appreciate reading. Very loudly and very happily. The main aim of World Book Day in the UK and Ireland is to encourage children to explore the pleasures of books and reading by providing them with the opportunity to have a book of their own.
Brookways School London got involved and all the staff and children had a great time dressing up as their favourite chatacters.
Brookways is an independent specialist day school in North Cheam, London designed with a state of the art learning environment which has been created to meet the needs of young people aged between 7 and 16 with Asperger’s Syndrome and higher functioning autism.
Well done to everyone who got involved, brilliant outfits!
