Co-educational preparatory day school, Pennthorpe, has collaborated with Waterstones in Horsham to present a window display for World Book Day
The display features work crafted by students from Years 6, 7 and 8. This collaborative endeavour intertwines the realms of English and Art, showcasing the creative abilities of Pennthorpe‘s budding talents.
The focal point of this project was inspired by the prominent literary works actively promoted by World Book Day for this year. The children have taken immense pride in infusing the essence of these celebrated books into their own artistic expression, creating a visually appealing display to capture the imagination of the public.
This display forms part of Pennthorpe’s larger initiative – English Spotlight Week; where Pennthorpe dedicates a week to celebrate the English language and literature.
Pennthorpe’s Spotlight Week, coinciding with World Book Day, is a dedicated time when the whole school focuses primarily on English-related activities. The 2024 lineup features exciting events designed to engage children aged 2 to 13 in the world of literature. Some of the highlighted activities include, but are not limited to, author visits, Staff Masked Reader Challenges, Extreme Reading Competitions, Guess The Shelfie Competitions and book signings.
Grace Partridge, Head of English and Head of Year 7 and 8 at Pennthorpe believes that ?fostering a love for literature is fundamental to a well-rounded education,? t...
