19.01.2022 Celebrate books instead of costumes World Book Day Over the years world book day has sadly become more about dressing up than the love of books & appreciation... of stories Parents across the country get stressed at the annual mission to have a world book day costume created purchased or sorted What about children whose household forgot, didn’t have time or just haven’t got the funds to splash out on a shop bought outfit ? At The Curiosity Approach we have moved away from mass produced costumes & look to get back to old fashioned PLAY & values. To deeply reflect & consider the true meaning of WHY ! Traditions are hard to break - but are they more like well intentioned HABITS that we have got ourselves into year after year & have forgotten the reason WHY we began them in the first instance ? So WHY do we recognise World book day ? World Book Day was first created in 1995 by UNESCO as 'World Book & Copyright day', and was aimed at promoting reading & love of BOOKS Let’s consider a new way to celebrate In preparation for this years event Let’s reconsider some alternatives to the norm & step back to a place where LOVE of books & the POWER of stories is our focus. Become a true World book day warrior and challenge traditions I appreciate ~ many excuses will be but the children love dressing up ! Children are always welcome in Early Years to come dressed up. We are NOT banning children from turning up in an outfit, the children may see their siblings getting dressed up & want to join in too So of course, if children want to dress up they can ! Especially if this has been a long standing tradition in your setting for decades, it’ll take time to change to a new approach & switch from the thinking that World book day is just about costumes However our focus is a new appreciation of World Book day - regaining the focus on love of books & stories , instead of what outfit will children wear ! Inform your parents & carers you understand the pressures world book day costumes places on them, the time implications & financial burden. Therefore this year why not be inspired by The Curiosity Approach & it’s child centred pedagogy, we have decided to reignite a love of books & stories for our children ( just as it was intended in 1995 by UNESCO ) Read our blog for 6 amazing alternative ways to celebrate https://www.thecuriosityapproach.com/bl/save-world-book-day Let’s rescue world book day & get it back to how it was intended
