As part of our annual World Book Day celebrations we are holding a Book Bake-Off competition, open to all students in the school.
The challenge is to bake a cake or series of small cakes to represent any book or to promote reading in general.
Cakes need to be brought to the LRC before school on Thursday 3rd March where they will be judged by staff and students throughout the day.
There are prizes to be won so get baking!
In addition, we would like to follow this up with a bake-sale the following day, the proceeds being used to purchase books nominated by the ‘bakers’.
With World Book Day just around the corner we are excited to launch our book themed bake off competition! Students (and staff) are being invited to get creative with their bakes...
