@edgechristopher We are so glad you love it; we love reading and teaching it here at The Heath! Twelve Minutes to Midnight is the focus of our Year 8 English lessons at the moment and we had some impressed faces this morning when they found out you had retweeted us😲

@mattwauthor Our English staff love an immersive experience - we've done them based on World War I for teaching Private Peaceful and Guy Fawkes for teaching the context of Macbeth.

Here's our final reader of #WorldBookDay This reader chose Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn for its psychological, fast-paced and suspenseful writing. They can usually found on the middle floor, has a border collie called Daisy and feels at home with sinks and gas taps. Who are they?

[English @ The Heath @heathschooleng]

This teacher chose to read The Pants of Perspective by Anna McNuff. She loves to go hiking up mountains, she loves to travel and dogs are her favourite animal! Can you guess who is behind this robot face?

[English @ The Heath @heathschooleng]

This teacher is reading from Guess How Much I Love You as it is the first book she ever read to her little girl and it is the last book they read every night. She likes to do jigsaws, go travelling and celebrate her culture. Who do you think it could be?

[English @ The Heath @heathschooleng]

This Masked Reader likes to sing in their spare time! They are from another country and they love wearing heels. Can you guess who is behind the mask?

[English @ The Heath @heathschooleng]

Darth Vader chose this book because they love ghost stories! It is about an American teenage girl who can see ghosts, speak to them and also “…kick some serious ghost butt”. They first read it as a teen and wanted to solve ghostly mysteries like the main character!

[English @ The Heath @heathschooleng]

Darth Vader is reading The Mediator: Love You To Death by Meg Cabot. Vader loves to visit castles, has two dogs and a cat and loves Disney! Do you know who is underneath the mask?

[English @ The Heath @heathschooleng]

The next Masked Reader is always in heels, LOVES Disney and is known by students for being a little bit clumsy. She has chosen to read 1984 by George Orwell as "It will make you question and really think about society, life and how much we are in control."

[English @ The Heath @heathschooleng]

Miss Perraton chose The Librarian of Auschwitz. She says "It teaches about true events from history whilst showing that a book can offer escape, wherever you are. It also shows how books can provide hope and happiness in the darkest of times."

[English @ The Heath @heathschooleng]

@bubbly9boa You're right! It is Miss Perraton

[English @ The Heath @heathschooleng]

This Masked Reader can't live without Yorkshire tea. They love a deep breath of fresh mountain air and is a mother to one (non-human) naughty but very cute 'child'. Who could this Masked Reader be?

[English @ The Heath @heathschooleng]

@dianearnold28 @TheHeathSchool Yes, it is Mrs Wade!

[English @ The Heath @heathschooleng]

This @TheHeathSchool teacher loves cats and has 3! They support Everton and their favourite flowers are Forget-me-nots. Can you guess who they are?

[English @ The Heath @heathschooleng]

@bubbly9boa That's right!

[English @ The Heath @heathschooleng]

This teacher loves to shoot hoops, hates suits and their third clue is COYS! Any idea who is under this mask?
