Literary themed dressing up and other fun for World Book Day

Activities during the day included reading sections of the short story Examination Day by Henry Slesar at the beginning of each lesson, a fun quiz where pupils had to guess the teacher reading the book at home and a ‘pictured reading in an unusual place’ competition.
The art department were dressed as witches from Macbeth, joined by The Mad Hatter of Alice in Wonderland. The English department came as characters including Gangsta Granny, the ghost of Jacob Marley, a ghost from Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre, Harry Potter and other staff and pupils dressed as Toad from The Wind in the Willows, The Cat in the Hat, The Joker and The Wizard of Oz.
The Catering Team joined in with some fantastic outfits.
Winners of the lunch time book quiz were Team Georgie.
