Many teachers participated in the Whole School Read for World Book Day. This involved starting or finishing their lesson, regardless of their subject, with a five minute piece of the Sherlock Holmes story The Man with the Twisted Lip. The story starts with a graphic description of a Victorian opium den. The response was very positive and students and staff alike enjoyed the break from routine and the chance to acknowledge the important part a good read plays in their lives.
The Upper School Library was taken over briefly at lunchtime for the World Book Day Literary Challenge. Two mixed teams of pupils and teachers tested their reading knowledge, memory and their speed on the button in an exciting and often hilarious University Challenge type quiz. Despite a slow start the winning team of Mr S.Reid, Mrs Costante, James Harrison and Robert Jackson beat by a very small lead Mrs Robinson, Mr Hortor, Samuel Steel and Richard Hill. Many thanks to all four volunteers who provided the entertainment along with Mr Grant the quiz master. Great fun!
