World Book Day is an exciting day for all schools to celebrate the power of reading and ignite a passion for books in young minds. All the schools within our Trust celebrated the day by bringing creative and innovative characters from their favourite books to life.
Bromley Beacon Academy had a fun-filled day engaging in lots of exciting book-themed activities. These included online learning lessons with the National Literacy Trust on the Big Footy Football Quiz.
As well as all the classes taking part in ‘Passing on the Story’, the children shared their favourite books and enjoyed some quality reading time. they also decorated and made their own bookmarks.
At the school's Orpington Campus, celebrations carried into Friday when it welcomed Alex Falase-Koya, the co-author of The Breakfast Club Adventures with Marcus Rashford. Alex spent the day with BBAO, leading an assembly for the whole school before running workshops in the Key Stage 2 classes.
Through dress ups from Miss Cruella De Vil and her 101 Dalmatians, Miss Trunchbull and Mario & Luigi...(that was just the staff!)...to workshops, quizzes and author visits, our pupils not only had fun but were reminded of the importance of reading and the discovery of new books.
We look forward to next year’s World Book Day!
