Read all about it! World Book Day 2011 This week sees the return of yet another important event in our annual calendar, World Book Day. Coincidentally, it will also mark the opening of our newly refurbished school library, or Learning Resource Centre as it is now known. We are always told that we should “never judge a book by its cover”. Ironically, the same applies here. World Book Day isn’t just about books! It’s about reading and learning, the enjoyment of storytelling, finding things out, facts and fun. That said, one great thing about a book is that it can be shared. You could lend your favourite book to your friend to read, you could borrow a book from the LRC, you could even donate a book to a charity shop. That way someone else can enjoy the book and also donate money to a valuable cause. What’s your favourite book?
Competition: Design a bookmark. One of the many activities and events that form part of World Book Day this year is a competition to design a bookmark. All you have to do is come up with an idea around the theme of ‘books’ or ‘reading’ and draw it in the template (right). We will then send off your entries for you and cross our fingers. We know we have some budding artists at BGTC so there’s a great chance of someone winning the £100 first prize or £50 runner-up prize. As always, post your entries into a Voice Box and don’t forget to write your name and tutor group on the back. Good luck! www.bgtc.org.uk/wordonthestreet
