Today, our amazing staff and students embraced the magic of storytelling by dressing up as their favorite book characters. From Wally and Cruella to beloved classic heroes, Inscape House School and Bridge College were buzzing with creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Bridge College, staff surprised students with creative costumes that transformed them into characters. Throughout the day the Bridge Library was open for readers to visit, browse and share their favourite books<\/a>! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over in the Inscape Library, our expert librarian Jenna put together an exciting line-up of book-themed activities. Students and staff were encouraged to dress up as their favourite character and join book reading sessions. We even spotted a secret guest: Bluey! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alongside costumes, students were able to enter a potato decorating competition. Through paint, glitter, fake hair and other decorations, they transformed potatoes into characters like Yoda from Star Wars, Captain Underpants, Shrek and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back in the Main Hall, some students took part in an exciting Stop Motion Animation workshop held by Michael from Animation Nation<\/a>. He talked students through all the steps including story boarding, setting the scene, getting the right shots, frame rates and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marie, Careers Teacher at Inscape House School says \u201cIt\u2019s amazing to introduce pupils to creative careers from such a young age. It might be a career that they hadn\u2019t even considered. Practicing animation is helping their creativity and focus too.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
