Today, 6^th March, is World Book Day. In commemoration of World Book Day the Second Year students have set up a project called ‘Book Speed-Dating’ for the First Years. For this project, all of the 2A1 class read a book each and all of the 1A1 class went in at lunch time at 1:30 for 10 or 20 minutes and got to hear about some of the books that the students had read. A few of the teachers participated also. All in all, it was a very enjoyable project that would be very fun to try again in the near future.
