World Book Day at HAB - Look What's Happening!
World Book Day is a pretty big deal at HAB! We dress up as our favourite characters, take part in book-themed lessons and every student is given a free book to add to their book collection at home.
Even though we are not on site to celebrate World Book Day this year, there are plenty of ways to celebrate at home.
