THS celebrates World Book Day

As part of our month-long March into Reading initiative, we were thrilled to celebrate World Book Day in school on Thursday 6 March which a range of activities designed to put books and reading in the spotlight.

Staff were invited to dress up as an adjective for the day for our 'Staffjective' dress up day, with students challenged to guess which describing word staff were representing. These included crispy, sporty, rebellious, dazzling, famous, regal, ancient and more.

In addition, at the start of each lesson students were invited to guess which teacher/member of staff was reading to them from under the cloak in our new 'Tanbridge Traitors' game. 

We also hosted our annual Book Swap at 1st and 2nd breaks, where every single student in school had the opportunity to take home a book for free, after we collected in hundreds of donations of pre-loved books from our school community.

At PM Registration we hosted a virtual author/illustrator talk in the LRC with sibling duo Stephen and Anita Mangan, who wrote and illustrated one of this year's World Book Day books.

Of course, there was a lot of reading going on throughout the day, continuing our 500,000 page challenge (remember to log any reading you do throughout March here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/HD8L9WN) and World Book Day tokens/books available too.
