ECC celebrates World Book Day in Style!

The library team relax with a good book before the celebrations get going.

Mr Urmston (aka Mad Hatter), amid cheers from the students, won the competition for the English department teachers to dress as book characters. Mrs Messer cried 'off with his head' as she took 2nd place as the Queen of Hearts, and Gansta Granny (Mrs Burrows) grabbed the 3rd place rosette and made a run for it!

We had a very special visitor who was kindly brought in by Anne-Marie Coles of Guide Dogs South West. Lots of students made friends with the beautiful black Labrador who has been a guide dog for 7 years. She helped Willy Wonka ( Mr Waldron) choose some stories, which where enjoyed with a hot chocolate and cuddles with our new four legged friend! Many thanks to Anne-Marie for coming along today.

The Library held a giant cake and book sale in aid of Book Aid Africa during World Book Week. Many thanks to those who baked it, faked it and bought it, we raised a brilliant £112.50! Special thanks to our fabulous monitors who worked really hard during the busiest break time of the year!
