World Book Day 2023: Official £1/€1.50 books and campaign reveal! - YouTube

St John's World Book Week Competition

This year we are asking to make a puppet book character in the most creative way possible. They can make their puppet using: 

a paper bag, a paper plate, a lolly stick, a glove, a tube, a wooden spoon, a sock or they might want to create a finger puppet using card. 

To encourage as many children as possible to enter, we will be rewarding the best designs in each class with a £10 book voucher as a prize and recognition for their effort.

The children will need to bring in their finished characters to school on 'World Book Day' (Thursday 2nd March)

Many thanks for your continued support,

Mr Giles & Mrs Shearman
