MUFTI DAY/WORLD BOOK DAY 6^TH MARCH 2008

The PTA have organised a "Dress Up As A Book Character" competition.  Your child may come to school dressed as a book character.  Mrs Scannell and Mrs Briggs have kindly agreed to judge the competition, there will be a prize for each year group.  Since this is also a mufti day, if your child does not wish to come as a book character, they may come in their ordinary clothes. (The cost will be £1 per child in aid of PTA funds for either 'own' clothes, or dressed as a book character).

BOOK SWAP

Juniors

The PTA are oganising a book swap.  Please let your child bring in any books that are in good condition, but no longer required, and swap them.  It's a fun way to encourage reading something different!

Seniors – Yrs 7 & 8

In the spirit of World Book Day, we would invite all Year 7 & 8 pupils to bring in two books they have enjoyed reading and swap by agreement with a classmate.  I hope all pupils will take part and help promote a culture of reading at The Park School.  Pupils are also invited to bring in a book they have grown out of and donate it to a younger student in the Junior School.
