World Book Day lasts a week at Ludgrove!

One day wasn’t enough for World Book Day at Ludgrove, so the School marked the day with a number of events.

To kick off the School’s week of activities for World Book Day, the School welcomed Jack Meggitt-Phillips (and purple parrot Patrick). The world-famous children’s author ran a creative writing workshop, gave an excerpt from his book, Beast and the Bethany, and then answered the boys’ questions and signed their books. Fantastic fun and great inspiration for any budding authors!

For one day only on the day itself, the classrooms were taken over by children’s book characters. The boys loved having Harry Potter, Oompah Lompahs, Tigger and Paddington (to name but a few) teaching them and celebrating a love of reading. Mr Barber joined in the fun by dressing up as Sherlock Holmes.

Finally, well done to all the boys who completed the 20 minutes a day reading challenge. Mrs Bidgood rewarded these bookworms with treats at Fruit Break. The drive was replaced with a fun Extreme Reading challenge in the holidays, so keep reading boys!
