All things library, reading and research related at Portland Place School. I'm also responsible for Post-16 advice at school.

If any students are looking for something to do :)! I love this.

Heartfelt appeal from Scarlett, a 1st year pupil at my old school, as her local authority threatens to do away with all remaining school librarians. “Don’t take away our tiny islands.”

[Mrs Carvalho @PPSLibrary]

Great opportunity!

Schools! Would anyone in (or near) to Lincoln like a school visit from me on (or around) the morning of Jan. 12th next year? With my Eerie-on-Sea bag, Lost-and-Founder’s cap and everything? DM me if so, and we’ll arrange something. #edutwitter

RIP to the wonderful Marcus Sedgwick. 'Midwinterblood' & 'She is not invisible' were truly innovative books which will stay with me forever.

It's safe to say that we smashed our first @ReadforGoodUK readathon, a total of £735.90 was raised. Well done to our readers on their achievements & thanks to sponsors. More prizes in Year 6/7 assembly tomorrow. It is amazing what you can achieve when you read!

A student made me aware of this wonderful Muhammad Ali title today. Coming to the library soon but for now you can listen to it on our @eplatformuk app!

Looked at this with Year 8 today, a great thought-provoking resource on Day of the Dead and Mexican culture @ThomasLalandePP

[The Conversation @ConversationUK]

The Day of the Dead is commonly misunderstood in some countries, including the UK, where the perception is that this highly important ritual is simply a Mexican version of Halloween.

An expert explains. https://t.co/d1TLknoQTl

Thanks so much to those who have donated so far, so proud of our brilliant readers in Years 6, 7, 8 and 9. Please hand in your forms to the library.

Just used the 'Papercuts' series on our VLE to read the spooktacular story The Trick as belated Hallowe'en treat in library lesson with our Year 8's today. It was great, as we could all follow along.
