World Book Day at Broadford

Dear Parents & Carers,

World Book Day is on Thursday 3rd March 2022 this year and it is the 25th year of World Book Day celebrations.

Due to COVID, Broadford haven't been able to celebrate fully for 2 years so this year we are having a whole week of celebrating! We are going BIG!

Watch out for pictures of the week on our Instagram story! @broadfordprimary

If you have books at home that you don't use anymore this is your chance for your child to bring them into school in exchange for a book token. This event will happen in the afternoon of Friday 4th March in pupil's classes. Donations can be taken into children's classes or to the office.
