World Book Day 2025 – a celebration of words themselves
Year 3 enjoyed dressing up for World Book Day. The theme this year was to represent a particular word, and they certainly did not disappoint. The range of vocabulary was impressive, and encouraged them to enjoy thinking about words at an individual level.
The children also enjoyed playing ‘guess my word’, where the children wrote a definition for their chosen word, and everyone else had to guess who it was describing. For many children, this process helped them encounter and learn new vocabulary that they hadn’t heard before, like incantation.
This high-profile event, gave the children in Year 3 the opportunity to talk about and reflect upon the importance and enjoyment of books and vocabulary. Developing a love of reading is vitally important, so that children get into good reading habits from an early age, which they can sustain into adulthood.
