World Book Day 2016

Girls at Pipers Corner had a fantastic time celebrating World Book Day, an annual event that aims to turn millions of children into millions of readers. Members of the Pre-Prep and Prep Departments dressed up as their favourite literary character and the Senior School girls got involved with the Big Book Swap.

There were lots of exciting characters to see wandering around school including Alice in Wonderland, Little Miss Sunshine, the Demon Dentist and Esio Trot. All the girls did a wonderful job with their costumes, putting lots of thought into their accessories to ensure they looked just like their chosen literary figure.

Mrs Rees, Head of Research-Based Learning, organised the Pipers Big Book Swap in the Library where girls brought in one of their favourite books, attached a brief review and swapped it for another book. It was a wonderful way for the girls to be introduced to a range of exciting new books and authors.

Mrs Ness-Gifford, Headmistress said, “As always it was delightful to see the wonderful costumes the Pre-Prep and Prep girls wore for World Book Day, they all looked incredible. Events like World Book Day are a great way of encouraging children and young people to get more involved in reading and talking about books.”
