At the Academy, World Book Day is not enough to celebrate our love of reading, instead we have spent the whole week inspiring staff and students alike to pick up a book.
We have had lots of exciting activities going on around school including;
- Never Ever Ending story - students and staff were chosen at random to contribute a paragraph to our ongoing story.
- Guess who competition - students had to guess the teachers hidden behind the books.
- T-shirt treasure trail - students had to collect the character names of the English department from the back of their t-shirts and name the book the character was from.
- Wheres Wally? - two clues were released in school everyday - the first student to solve all got a prize.
- Big fat reading quiz of the year -Year 7 and 8 put their reading knowledge to the test in this head-to-head quiz.
- Fancy dress World Book Day - staff surprised students by coming into school dressed as a multitude of different characters. See photos here.
- Author Dan Smith came into school to work with Year 7 and 8 students, as our grand finale to Reading Rocks week.
- Reading activities in maths, science and more- teachers from all departments focused some of their lessons on reading throughout the week.
