This will be the first World Book Day in a very long time that I am not in the school library coordinating events which will be strange but I am very lucky that I will be in Guernsey instead. I will still be in a school library - I am visiting Elizabeth College the school that won the Write Path this year and we will be launching the Write Path books on the day - it's very exciting! Last year for WBD we wrote a Twitter story with other schools and one of our year 11 students made a video - we had themed the day around the excellent Trapped By Monsters website (www.trappedbymonsters.com) and he had great fun getting staff to wear monster masks and running around school like a mad thing! I also made a longer video with colleagues in international schools, they were asked to prepare a video not longer than 3 minutes of their students talking about their favourite books. I then collated all of these wonderful videos into one and if anyone would like to use this to show on Thursday it can be accessed here:

It is a long video, aprox. 45 minutes but you could just show part of it if you would like to. The students on it are quite fantastic and very articulate, apologies if the sound is a little erratic it was one of my first moviemaker projects. Happy World Book Day everyone!
