We are pleased to be taking part in World Book Day which is taking place on Thursday 1st March 2012. For the whole week beginning Monday 27th February 2012 the children are invited to come to pre-school dressed as their favourite character from a story book or nursery rhyme. We are asking for a donation of just £1 per child, for the week regardless of how many sessions they attend. The money raised will be put towards new books for the children. If you’re in need of some inspiration and quick tips have a look online at www.bookaid.org for some book character costume ideas using recyclable materials at home such as old newspapers, tissue paper, egg boxes etc.

For a chance to win £100 of national book tokens for our pre-school, you may like to enter the competition online. Simply email a photograph of your handmade craft book character costume along with a brief explanation of how it was made and the materials you used. NB: Closing date is 2nd April 2012.
