Podcasts, book sales, quizzes and a school photomontage all added up to a busy World Book Day on Thursday, 1st March. Ms. O'Kelly recounts the activities of the day.
For this year's World Book Day, various book-related events and artistic activities went on in school:
In addition, a number of TY Art students made a banner and a special 'World Book Day' book cover. Ms. O'Kelly made a photomontage by taking photographs of all the students holding a book and using the image of Stratford College as the 'big picture'. This month's photography competition is based on the theme of "reading". There is also a display of favourite childhood books, brought in by students and staff, in the Library. View all the photographs from the day in the 2011-2012 Gallery. Enjoy!
