World Book Day this year took on a different twist with all year 7 to 10 students visiting Paignton Zoo. Our focus was Dr Seuss and students took part in differentiated work whilst at the zoo such as an A-Z animal quiz or a Zoo quiz and completing an elephant and tortoise fact sheet. Favourite animals from the day included the giraffes, gorillas, tortoise, meerkats and lions. Some of the animals put on a great display for students – especially the roaring lions!
Students and staff came in dressed as many different characters such as Cat in the Hat, Thing 1 and Thing 2, Captain America and Ratfink! Prizes were given out for best student in individual groups with a prize of an animal postcard, keyring, pencil and bracelet. Prizes for the best costume will be given out at the end of term.
Two students (one from year 10 and another from year 8) acted as photographers for the day and a display of their photographs can be seen in the main corridor outside Mrs Jordan’s office.
We all agreed it was a wonderful day and were pleased that the sun shone on us all day!
