# World Book Day 2026

For World Book Day this year, we had a story written by Rebekah S whilst she was in Year 11 here in 2023!

Students enjoyed this each day in tutor time

**BUT** the story isn’t finished SO our competition this year is to write what they think happens next as a competition for a book token prize!!! This can be as a plot sketch; a story board OR the next chapter if you feel inspired! Deadline 20th March!

\*ALSO: we had guest readers in the library each lunchtime reading an extract of their FAVOURITE book or a brand-new YA book that we think students would love! PLUS, we had virtual author visits zooming into the library and on students’ emails!

\*AND: Students were sent lots of emails from Dr. Breen over the week full of activities, quizzes and OTHER super book fun!!"

You can see a selection of photographs from our wonderful week below:
