Week 2

World Book Day SPaG and Maths Challenge 

World Book Day Token Hunt Story

It’s World Book Day, and everyone is busy sharing their favourite books with each other. All around the school, in every corner, children and adults are huddled together and chatting through what they love most about reading.

It’s getting close to the end of the day, when you remember that there are special book tokens to give out to everyone who has taken part.

You head over to the school library to find the tokens. You remember that the librarian said he would leave them in the cupboard for you. 

When you arrive at the cupboard, the door is locked and you need a code to unlock it. Solve the clues and puzzles to discover the passcode number needed to unlock the cupboard and get the tokens.

The clues could be anywhere, so you need to keep your eyes peeled and your mind sharp!

** The clues to unlock the code can be found on the pdf below along with an answer sheet to record the numbers.
