World Book Day 2026 ππTo celebrate World Book Day this year, we embraced the thrilling theme of 'Betrayal' and brought the excitement of The Traitors to life right here in school!Students took on the challenge of uncovering who among our staff were Faithfulsβ¦ and who were secretly playing as Traitors. π΅οΈββοΈπ΅οΈββοΈFour staff members were chosen to be the Traitors, and throughout the day students used staff profiles, clues, and their detective skills to work out who could be trusted and who might be leading them astray.The atmosphere was full of suspicion, laughter, teamwork, and some seriously impressive deduction skills! It was a brilliant way to get everyone engaging with stories, characters, and the idea that every great book has a twist waiting to be discovered.A huge well done to all our students for getting stuck in, and an even bigger thank you to the staff who played their roles very wellβ¦ Hereβs to another fantastic World Book Day and to the power of stories to bring a whole school together! ππ#Newbridge#Springboardproject...
