World Book Day was first introduced by UNESCO in 1995 as a plan to promote reading and books.
Celebrated, other than in the UK on April 23, the date William Shakespeare was born and died, World Book Day has now become a hardy annual among MBC’s Seniors.
However, to the avoid the possibility of ever clashing with either Easter or St George’s Day, this year, here at Moortown it was celebrated on Wednesday March 5th, just one day before the official UK date of March 6th. And once again a number of Lunch Club members plus Rachel Beedle, our Senior’s Worker turned themselves into book titles.
They are (left to right) The Day it Rained in Colour, Little Red Riding Hood, Room on the Broom and the Pipe Piper of Hamelin.
