Happy World Book Day!

World Book Day was celebrated here today in lots of different ways. A crime scene appeared in the library: Dumbledore's murderer wasn't Snape after all, it was a member of Kimbolton School staff! Forensic clues had to be investigated and culprits interviewed with chocolate prizes for solving the crime and coming up with the best motive. A video quiz featuring Lyra the Lego Librarian engaged pupils during tutor time whilst cakes were sold at break to support Book Aid International. A great way to celebrate reading!
