World
Book Day is among us and we could not be more excited for its 22nd
year.
Each year World Book Day aims to
promote a love of reading in children and young people of all ages. This
registered charity works hard to ensure every child has a book of their own.
Authors, illustrators, publishers
and readers across 100 countries are involved in this event, and we are
encouraging all students to participate.
This year in the Library we have
chosen to immerse ourselves in all things to do with crime and detective fiction.
Walk into the BGS Library Detective
Agency and find the workings of a real life investigation board. Be careful not
to disturb the ‘Body in the Library’ or cross through the crime scene tape.
Practice your detective skills by
completing our quiz. Collect your instructions and questions from the Library
Desk. You will need a QR Code reader. There will be one dangerously chocolatey
prize for one student in years 7-9 and one in years 10- Upper Sixth.
Don’t forget to join us in the
Library to have your photo taken. The best costumes will win prizes. Pictures
will be taken at break time and between 1.30 and 2.45pm.
You can join us in our theme, or
choose any character from your favourite book. Head to the World Book Day
website for some last minute ideas or ask a Librarian for some suggestions.
Don't forget to
bring a £1 donation to the charity we are supporting this year which is Surfers
Against Sewage.
