Mar 6th

This year, staff at Canons demonstrated their personal love of books and reading by dressing up as well-known literary characters.

The school always promotes the importance and enjoyment that books and reading can bring to all, but an even more determined and positive push was applied around World Book Day.

It couldn't have been easy teaching a lesson dressed as the Cheshire Cat or Mad hatter from 'Alice in Wonderland, but for the students, it would have been unavoidable that today was a special day all about books and reading.

The staff gathered for a group photo at break time, minus a few who were on duty, (still dressed up of course. Where else might you see a 'Where's Wally' in a hi-vis?!

Winning a prize for the best dressed individual  was Ms Matomby, who struck a quite stunning 'Cleopatra'.

Our Media Resources Team won a special 'Spreading Happiness' prize for their simple but effective home-made Costumes.

Mr Fowler is 'Mr Happy' and Ms Rawlings is quite literally 'Little Miss Inventor'.  

A Staff Room book 'Bring-and-Buy' sale was also organised, with proceeds going to the World Book Day organisation.

Many books were snapped up as soon as they hit the shelf,  whilst the remainder will keep the staff occupied for months to come.

Mrs Mann dressed as Death, or to be more accurate, 'Mort' from the very funny book of the same name by Terry Pratchett.

She is accompanied here by her little friend, 'Death of Rats', the rodent equivalent of Death.

Sounds morbid? Read the book, it's hilarious, all will be explained and it will introduce you to the amazing 'Discworld' books that the late, great Terry Pratchett left to us all.

Who's Afraid?

On the look out for any wolves as 'Little Red Riding Hood' was Psychology teacher Ms Wu.

'Where's Wally?'

There were very few problems finding 'Wally' that day, as the whole of our Senior Leadership Team (SLT) had dressed up as this popular character.
