World Book Day

It was World Book Day on Thursday 6 March and girls in Pre-Prep and Prep celebrated all things books by dressing up in their favourite literary character. Even the teachers got involved, with the Pre-Prep Department staff becoming the “Seven Dwarfs”.

There were lots of exciting characters to see including Pippi Longstocking, Mildred from “The Worst Witch”, Moon Face from “Enchanted Wood”, three Goldilocks and Harry Potter. The girls really did make a fantastic effort in their costumes.

Mrs Rees, Head of Research-Based Learning, held a book swap in the Library where girls from all years brought in a book they thought was an excellent read, attached a brief review and swapped it for another book. It was a wonderful way for all girls to be introduced to a range of exciting new books and authors.

The girls were also encouraged to get involved in a “create a book cover” competition where they were asked to come up with what they thought would be a striking front cover for a publication of their choice.

Mrs Ness-Gifford, Headmistress said, “World Book Day is a fantastic way for girls to celebrate books and reading. Hopefully events like this will serve to inspire girls to explore all the different genres of literature available to them.
