World Book Day Competition


On UNESCO World Book Day, April 23rd, members of staff will be wearing badges depicting famous scientists or inventors and authors of famous science books.

The entry form lists book titles, inventions or discoveries; all you need to do is write the name of the staff member and the name of the scientist on their badge against the title, invention or discovery e.g. Mr Bloggs has a badge depicting Anon from Egypt who invented the wig. (In fact Anon was such a prolific inventor that he is not included in the competition, so don't go looking for him on the form.)


There are 33 badges to find. If at the end of the competition there is a tie, there will be a tie-breaker in the Library, and/or a Senior and Junior prize.


Badge wearers will answer "Yes" or "No" if you think you know the identity of the person on their badge, but please don't pester them with lots of questions; they have work to do.

There will be books to help you in the Library.
