World Book Day 2025

This year our World Book Day theme was inspired by the marvellous stories written by the talented writer, Roald Dahl. Again, our timetable was transformed into a jampacked day of exciting activities all focused around our love for books.Art focused on activities inspired by ‘The BFG’ and ‘Charlie and The Chocolate factory’ where students created dream jars and designed chocolate wrappers. In the drama sessions, KS3 students were able to dress up like characters from Roald Dahl books, some performed scenes from his plays, others took part in improvisation games and some students even danced part of a routine from ‘Revolting Children’ (in Matilda). Whilst in Science, the students made some amazing ‘George’s Marvellous Medicine’, lava lamps and ‘The Twits’ toothpaste. Maths lessons were aimed around code breaking. Could you crack the code? Year 10 students were able to create theme tunes for Roald Dahl films using keyboards, whilst KS3 students used Song Maker – on Chrome Music Lab – to play theme tunes and songs from Roald Dahl films/ plays. Year 11 students managed to fit in a PE lesson and a rewards session too. The whole school even had time for a chocolate quiz! Which book do you think inspired that lesson?

As always, students were eager to take part in the World Book Day activities and a good day was had by all. What will next year’s World Book Day theme be?
