The Second Annual Get Lit(erary) Festival – 2020!
Thanks to Pandemic of the Year, Covid-19, Book Week was instead held in October, rather than in August! To ensure as many students as possible could take part in the Get Lit(erary)! Festival, the Library shifted the date to the week commencing Monday 26th October.
Events included were a Kahoot! Quiz, virtual visits for the Year 8s with author Will Kostakis, Photo Ops with Emma Watson and Cole Sprouse (regrettably, due to the border closures, we were unable to have the “real thing”, so stand-up versions of the actors were their stand-ins! ) and last year’s Novel Fashion – a dress made from book covers – was again held, with great success. Additionally, a week-long “Emoji Book Title Quiz” was run, where students needed to identify the titles of books, based on the emojis!
It was wonderful to see so many students take part, and we were also thrilled to give away many prizes – see below for the winners:
