The power of reading

It was fantastic to see so many students engaging with all things literary in celebration of World Book Day on the 2nd March

With activities including a KS3 Treasure hunt across the school, a quiz, the English department dressed up as heroes and villains, and a bookthemed bake-off the power and fun of reading was certainly obvious!

The WBD Book Bake Off competition was held in the library and what a great competition it turned out to be! Students were invited to create a cake with a book theme design

Ranging from The Very Hungry Caterpillar to Lord of the Flies all tastes were catered for, and the results were stunning We want to say a BIG thank you to all the students who entered the competition All the cakes were of a very high standard and the creativity was outstanding With almost 30 cakes being entered, the decision making was very difficult but we finally came up with winners:

KS3 Winner: The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas by Martha (7O), Highly commended: The Hobbit by Ola (7B), Highly commended: Paddington by Alex (9B)

KS4 Winner: Lord of the Flies by Ben and Ruby (10M), Highly commended: The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Cody (10O)
