I’m on the case – reading a book!<br />

Mrs Barnett<br />

What the Dickens?!<br />

Miss Paterson<br />

World Book Day<br />

Thursday 3rd March 2016<br />

Best special effects<br />

winner<br />

The Academy celebrated<br />

World Book Day with a variety<br />

of activities including an old<br />

favourite, Drop Everything<br />

And Read; students in Years 7,<br />

8 and 9 experienced a period of<br />

sustained reading with a book<br />

of their choice.<br />

Staff and students also took part in<br />

an Extreme Reading photographic<br />

competition; the winning students<br />

were Aiysha Sayer and Kelly Farrow<br />

in Year 7, with Chloe Lee in Year 11<br />

winning the Best Special Effects<br />

category. Her photo shows her<br />

balancing preciously on the top of<br />

the Blackpool Tower! The winning<br />

staff entry was for Miss Paterson<br />

who managed to hang on to her<br />

book after bouncing off a High<br />

Altitude trampoline. Other staff<br />

entries can be seen on display in<br />

the library; pop in and take a look!<br />

Please think about where you could<br />

pose for an extreme reading photo<br />

to add to the display.<br />

The most exciting event of the day<br />

was the launch of the TEN Group<br />

World Book Day Video parody of<br />

Meghan Trainer’s ‘All About That<br />

Bass’. Students from Attleborough<br />

Academy, Fakenham Academy,<br />

City Academy Norwich and Wayland<br />

Academy Norfolk all contributed<br />

together with staff from City College<br />

Norwich. Huge thanks must go to<br />

the college for undertaking such a<br />

massive film editing job.<br />
