World Book Day
All S1 classes have been taken off timetable for one week to celebrate World Book Day. Every class has selected a theme and their aim is to create an attractive and informative wall display for the department. The displays will then be judged by our Head Teacher, Mr Somerville, and the winners will receive a book related prize!
Some of the ideas this year have been fantastic!
- Our Favourite Books
- Heroes and Villains
- The World of Roald Dahl
- Boys vs. Girls
- Fairytales
and more!
Take a look at our English Department Blog for more information and why not have fun exploring the WBD Website:
