Celebrating literature for World Book Day!

Slindon College once again joined schools throughout the globe to celebrate World Book Day...
What an amazing World Book Day, with so many pupils and members of staff joining in! The event was organised by Mrs Nash (Head of English) and her creative team!
Mrs Nash (Head of English) led the celebrations this year by focusing on the joy of reading, and our love for literature in a special assembly. This featured members of KS4 delivering dramatic readings from famous books whilst in costume. Thank you to Samuel, Declan, Matthew, Jago & Arthur for their support!
Storyteller Visit
A huge thank you to our incredible storytellers: John Kirk and Andy Copps, who led some inspirational sessions this week, featuring lots of hands-on and interactive audience participation!
Themed Lessons
Themed lessons took place throughout the College today! We spotted one such lesson in Prep where as part of a 'George's Marvellous Medicine' science experiment, they created 'rainbow rain clouds!' They used shaving foam to create the clouds and food colouring to create the rainbow rain! The rain coloured the transparent water into a rainbow solution!
Book-ified Doors!
Prep and our House Teams were asked to 'Book-ify' their doors today, with pupils researching, creating and showing off their artistic skills! There will be a winner - who would you choose to win?

Themed Lunch!
Our talented catering team put together a magical book-themed lunch, which also included a surprise or two. These included delicious Harry Potter Sorting Hat cakes for dessert. The creamy filling revealed the colour of their Hogwarts School House!
Cosplay fun!
Well done to our House Cosplay winners, the announcement of the overall cosplay winner will be coming soon!
Headteacher, Mrs Vlahodimou said:
