This week, students at The Gateway Academy marked World Book Day with a range of engaging activities. Year 7 and Year 8 enjoyed a special World Book Day assembly celebrating the joy of reading and the power of storytelling.

In their lessons, Year 7 explored the theme of twisted fairy tales, considering how familiar stories can be retold from different perspectives. They also took part in a fun “Villain or Not?” fairy tale quiz, where they decided whether well-known characters were truly villains or simply misunderstood. The activities encouraged lively discussion and helped students think more deeply about characters and how stories can be reimagined.
