The LRC hosted a magical Harry Potter themed spectacular to celebrate World Book Day and showcase Heston’s love of good literature and it’s remarkable ability for fantastical escapism. KS3 were invited to engage in a dress up zone with Harry Potter costumes and wizardry props and spellbinding scratch masks uniquely designed by the students. A photo booth style activity saw students donning marvellous moustaches and fabulous hats and comedy glasses to create characters linked to their favourite texts. Other games included ‘Guess the genre’, ‘Duck Hunt’ and ‘Guess the number of bookworms in the jar’. WBD was the catalyst we needed to create excitement and a book buzz that we hope lasts!

My name is Karanjit and in my opinion, World Book Day was important for the LRC. My favourite part of World Book Day was helping out and participating in events. My favourite game was Duck Hunt because it was intense and fun. I also liked seeing different people dress up as different characters from different stories.

My name is Sukhraj and I am going to tell you what happened in the LRC to celebrate World Book Day. We had many fun activities, such as dressing up, Guess the Genre, Duck Hunt and more. Many people who attended this found this a very fun opportunity to get involved with the LRC. Because of the Library Monitors, the activities were successful.

I enjoyed World Book Day extremely. I was getting bored with life but when Miss Bryan asked me if I wanted to host the WBD assembly and lead some of the WBD activities, I was overjoyed. I loved the assembly days when I delivered a presentation to KS3 students and staff. Gosh, I was nervous, but I still loved it and at lunchtime I made my own character and I loved it more than I could express. So everything went well and I loved it EXTREMELY.
