WORLD BOOK DAY

The Junior School children enjoyed dressing up as a word to celebrate World Book Day, and during morning assembly they read extracts from their favourite books to the whole school. The children also took part in a book swap and the older children visited the youngest to share their favourite stories.

In the Senior School, students participated in a range of activities including a literary quiz during morning registration, a Harry Potter Crime Scene Investigation, a ‘Blind Date books’ activity, and a whole school assembly to promote reading for pleasure.

The following day saw a bonus activity, as students were sent all around the Senior School site completing a book-themed treasure hunt. Sixth Former, Annabel Clancy, created a fabulous video, played during assembly, in which staff and students talked about their favourite books and why they love reading.

The ‘Book in a Box’ competition included some stunning entries, all of which were proudly displayed in the library. Some of the entries must have taken many hours to put together and all showed real creativity and impressive knowledge of the books.
