World Book Day

World Book Day World Book Day is celebrated on Thursday, 4th March.

World Book Day is celebrated on Thursday, 4th March. To mark the occasion, we are inviting students in Primary and Years 7, 8, 9, 10, and 12 to dress up in book-themed costumes on this day.

Your child may decide to dress up as a character from a book, a famous author, or even just a costume that reflects their favourite storybook genre.

If your child is virtual learning, we encourage you to share your child’s photos with our community using the hashtag: #bisadworldbookday

Throughout the day, students will be taking part in ‘Drop Everything and Read’ sessions, so we also ask that your child brings in a physical reading book or an E-book to read. You may wish to make use of Teen Book Cloud or Tumble Books to explore some options!

We have also been in contact with Kinokuyina bookstore, who are kindly offering 10% off books in their Galleria store for BIS Abu Dhabi students. To redeem this offer, you will need to present the voucher found here. Posters.ae are also generously offering BIS Abu families 10% discount with the code BISAD10.

If you would like to read more about World Book Day, you can find information and some fun activities to complete at home with your child on this website: https://www.worldbookday.com/
