World Book Day 2024 celebrations

Ahoy me hearties! We love World Book Day here at Chapel High and this year’s theme was pirates and treasure. Students were greeted on Thursday morning by teachers and staff dressed up in pirate costumes, setting the scene for a day of book-related fun. Our very talented School Librarian, Ms Hibbert, transformed the library into a pirate’s keep and designed a clever treasure hunt around the whole school. Over 230 students took part in the trail and there was great excitement as they travelled around school trying to link the book extracts together to solve the symbol of the treasure chest. 60 students managed to work out the puzzle and a lucky three winners were drawn out of the treasure chest to win some brilliant prizes.

On Friday, the book-based activities continued with a big World Book Day quiz in which an amazing 25 teams took part. The questions focussed on the theme that books and reading are something that we must treasure. Congratulations to Miss King’s tutor group who won the quiz, they were rewarded with some brilliant books and Easter egg treats.

Mr Grieves, Headteacher, said:

“Undoubtedly, the standout events of this week have been linked to World Book Day. Students loved it… A huge thank you to Ms Hibbert for a brilliant day, and an equally big thank you to our impressive crew of pirates!”
