This year for World Book Day we had a series of events and competitions happening across school.

Pupils were invited to complete a poster celebrating reading and during PSHE pupils watched ‘Authors Live’ with Sue Cheung and reflected on how reading can encourage us to be ourselves (one of our Beacon Values!) In English lessons pupils also competed in a series of quizzes and took part in our Book Review competition. See some of our amazing entries below.

To celebrate World Book Day, we also launched the Barr Beacon Reading Challenge Card. Pupils will be receiving these over the next week in their English lessons and we look forward to seeing pupils displaying their Reading Champion badges on their blazers.
