This week we’ve been celebrating World Book Day as part of The National Year of Reading, which launched in our library on Monday. World Book Day takes place every year on the first Thursday in March and is all about discovering new authors, exploring amazing stories, and enjoying reading just for fun. Throughout the week, students have been able to join in a range of activities and earn credits, house points, and prizes.

The library has been full of excitement as students took on the Hidden Book Title quiz and the Murder in the Library mystery challenge, using clues to work out the victim, the culprit, the location, and the weapon. Around school, students enjoyed searching for posters in the Guess Whose Pet Got Caught Reading challenge, trying to match each teacher to their reading pet.

Students spotted reading confidently and for pleasure have been awarded Golden Tickets, and our top readers were invited to the Chapters and Cupcakes event, where they got an exclusive first look at new book releases—and a cupcake if they borrowed one!

It’s been a fantastic week celebrating reading, curiosity, and creativity across the school. Don’t forget to spend your book voucher!
