With Guernsey Book Week moving to October, Blanchelande has decided to celebrate it's own book week! For Seniors this will be in the week beginning March 17th. We have a range of exciting events throughout the week led by the Library - and particularly our amazing team of Student Librarians. Lunchtime events include:
Monday: Art day in the Library!
We will have bookmarks to colour, Literary Top Trumps, Book recommendation fortune tellers and more... This is also an opportunity to create your entry for the Design a National Book Token competition (open to anyone up to the age of 16), with hundreds of pounds in book tokens to be won! Details here.
Tuesday: Create your own audiobook competition finals.
Ever wondered if you have what it takes to narrate an audiobook. How hard can it be...? Have a go using a few pages from your favourite book (group entries welcome) and send the recording to Mrs Toerien by Sunday March 16th, or just come along to hear all the entries played and judge who should receive our 'best audiobook' prize. Everyone who enters is eligible to join the Blanchelande Audiobook Project where we try to create our own audiobook together.
Wednesday: Y7 costume competition judging.
Y7 are invited to come in on Wednesday dressed as a book character, and to enter our costume competition. To enter, students need to come up to the Library in costume at break or lunch and to read a short passage from the book they have chosen. The competition will be judged by the Student Librarian team.
Thursday: Teacher bingo
What are your teachers reading? Collect your bingo card on Thursday and see how many book titles you can collect from different departments. Prizes to be won!
Friday: Blanchelande's favourite author
Whose books do we enjoy reading most? Tutor groups vote for their favourite authors to put forward into the final battle. Who will be crowned Blanchelande's favourite author? The answer will be revealed on Friday, with a lunchtime of events themes around our favourite author.
Events are open to all ages - come and join the fun, and help us to celebrate Blanchelande as a community of readers.
