World Book Day (WBD) is on 1 March, and there will be several activities to celebrate, starting with a Book Fair on Tuesday 28 February at lunchtime.
• World Book Day itself will end in 15 minutes of peaceful reading at OLA. The afternoon lessons are shortened by 5 minutes so that everyone in school can spend the last quarter of an hour with a book.
• £1 WBD vouchers will be given out by Form Teachers and these can be exchanged in book shops for special £1 books which includes a Skulduggery novelettte. They can also be used like a book token towards a purchase in most book shops or the new Cover2Cover magazine. The vouchers are valid until 25 March.
• Book Quiz. Collect a sheet from the Library or download it from the school intranet. Hand it in by Monday.There will be prizes for each year group.
• If you have a smart phone there is a brand new free World Book Day app which has six brilliant short stories written especially for World Book Day by some of the best Young Adult writers, including Charlie Higson, Malorie Blackman and Sophie McKenzie.
• And if you need some reading suggestions then come into the library and pick up an idea from one of the 'Inspiration Mugs' for Junior, Young Adult and Senior Fiction.
