World Book Week

World Book Week 2009 was a fantastic experience in the library. Students and parents loved the Arabian tent erected in the library, the slightly gruesome story of Ali Baba, the performance of Arabian Nights by talented drama students (and the chocolates that went along with all of it!).




The Primary School had an exciting week too, incorporating Book and Art Week together. The result was some great stories and some high quality illustrations of favourite book characters. Some of these will be on display from the middle of this week.

The dress-up day in Primary was also a hit - apart from one slightly dodgy Mr Twit who kept appearing in the oddest places and saying the strangest things! And who was that giant animal cavorting around the school?

The book fair was also a success. Personally, it is magical to see so many students excited by books - browsing, buying, touching, smelling and talking about them. Long may it continue.
