1 We are a rural school in Moray, Scotland with 67 pupils who like to think big! The starting point or inspiration was the video and information on the World Book Day website. The amazing prizes on offer also helped because we absolutely love books! Being smart readers we read everything on the website very carefully. We noticed key phrases kept popping up in the text and the video: The sky s the limit Let your imaginations fly Flying high Shoot for the stars Our class (P5-P7) brainstormed and came up with lots of imaginative ideas. We were totally enthused! We got creative and decided to make our display on our football pitch, to be photographed from above. Fortunately (from an earlier visit to the local quarry) we knew a man with a drone! He liked our idea and said he d help. After much discussion and debate we finalised our design based around the word Books, spelt out in huge letters across the football pitch. We also decided to use Flying Fergus as the theme. We were already fans of the books - flying was coming up a lot! Our Fergus was going to fly through a gigantic book cover having taken off from a massive ramp (held up by us), complete with a Scotland flag and a copy of a real Flying Fergus book in his pocket.

3 Our class split into teams: Measuring measured and re-measured the size of the pitch. Design made a detailed scale plan on squared paper. Resources worked out what materials and items we could use and checked sizes. We used a vast amount of resources - including cars, furniture, P.E. equipment and even a parachute! We appealed online to parents for tarpaulins, towels, tartan rugs and white dustsheets (for the World Book Day logo eyes). Photo No.2 The Flying Fergus Cover School 3.

4 The village hall lent us big tables plus two huge backdrops from behind the stage. Some of our bikes were used on the day. Archie was picked to be Fergus - he is absolutely mad keen crazy about bikes! He s won downhill mountain bike events around Scotland and was the obvious choice.

The whole school was involved! Staff were directed where to park their cars. P1-P7 pupils moved every single desk and chair onto the pitch. Everything was placed precisely according to the plan.

5 The whole school was involved! Staff were directed where to park their cars. P1-P7 pupils moved every single desk and chair onto the pitch. Everything was placed precisely according to the plan. All teams worked together brilliantly. We were amazed how well it worked - especially considering that we only saw the competition details the week before! We love the fact that all pupils, staff, parents and helpers (who were there on the day) are all in our display! Photo No.4 Making Flying Fergus. School 5.

Now we re writing to the local papers and council magazine to show even more people what we have done. We hope you like our display.
