World Book Day!
World Book Day!
We had a lot of fun on World Book Day on the 5th of March at Bourne Academy. All of KS3 had a chance to ‘Drop Everything and Read’ in our first cross-curricular DEAR event. We had chosen two short stories with slightly nasty endings which certainly intrigued our students. Many have asked where they can read the rest of the story to find out what happens next… as they both had cliffhanger endings we will never know the answer! Some of the students in drama even acted the stories out and art brought reading into the lesson activities as well. It was fantastic to get everyone reading together, celebrating and sharing stories.
Some staff dressed up with a David Walliams theme: Mr Cepelak made an appearance as ‘The Boy in the Dress’, as did some very suspicious looking ‘Gangster Grannies’ aka Ms Howard and Mrs Alker! There were also a really wide range of ‘Reading Hero’ slides created by staff to share with their classes on the day, as well as a ‘Guess Who?’ reading competition for all form groups. We really hope every KS3 student will take advantage of their World Book Day token to buy one of the £1 books produced this year – they are available in shops for a couple more weeks!
