UNESCO World Book Day Time Machine Treasure Hunt

Around the school over the next week you'll find around 40 pictures of staff reading one of their favourite books.

All you have to do is spot as many of them as possible - you probably won't find them all - and hand in to he library your list of who's reading what by the end of Thursday 6th May. Time Machines are notoriously unreliable and there are extra points if you can add which time or place the book should have taken its reader to - for instance Goodnight Mister Tom would take you to World War 2 in the West Country, or the Voyage of the Beagle to the Galapagos Islands in the Nineteenth Century.

Some of the rarer species whose habitats are difficult to find may be located in the Library, and there will be an expert on hand to help identify them.


And you could add which "time machine" you would like to read and why.

There are, of course, prizes for the person or persons who find the most titles and identify their readers.
