Calling all teachers, parents and governors! The big book sale is here!
What is big book sale?
It is a primary school fundraising event where pupils bring in their old story books, set up and decorate a stall and sell the books to each other in aid of the MS Society.
When is big book sale?
Big book sale can take place anytime during the first week of March as part of the World Book Day celebrations. If this isn’t convenient schools can chose a date that suits them.
Why take part?
The big book sale:
• develops literacy and numeracy skills during key stages 1 and 2
• promotes reading at home through peer-to-peer book recommendation
• develops real life numeracy skills through money handling on the day
• gives children and parents access to cheap story books helping to promote reading at home, highlighted by the National Curriculum as the most important way that parents can help their child’s literacy.
And if that’s not enough
The big book sale raises essential funds for the MS Society which are shared with the school if you raise over £200!
