World Book Day: A celebration of books and reading
March 18th, 2009
St Catherine’s School joined schools around the country in the celebration of World Book Day, which took place on 5th March.
The main aim of the event is to encourage children and young people to explore the pleasures of books and reading.
The award-winning writer, Tim Bowler, visited the school on 5th March and did two sessions with girls in Year 6 and all the Seniors. He talked about his experiences as a writer and his sources of inspiration. He read extracts from his books, “Blade” and “Frozen Fire” and was able to answer questions from the girls. After the sessions, Tim Bowler signed copies of his book
