Our Year 8s were privileged to have Steph Clarkson talk about writing picture books as they start working on their own creations to give to Pre-prep. Steph has written a range of picture and activity books, and ‘Super Milly and the Super School Day’ is available from August 4th.

Suzanne Collins reads from The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes https://t.co/DYtbwf41UQ via @YouTube

We have a number of ‘Hunger Games’ readers among our oldest students in Years 7-8. I hope the author reading from her new novel ‘The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes’ will appeal!

60 years today since Otto Frank opened the Anne Frank House- a family in a much more frightening lockdown than any of us are experiencing. Anne’s diary is still an inspiration for our Year 6 students every summer and maybe it will inspire some modern lockdown writing from you!

Our pupils are being encouraged to write diaries during these unprecedented times. YM English look forward to reading them. Through the course of History, putting pen to paper has helped millions.

We had a fantastic celebration of all things ‘books’ today and heard three amazing stories written by talented Year 4 writers who were awarded bronze, silver and gold certificates in our internal 500 words competition. So much effort had been put into the costumes this year too!

We see the difference that this can make at Yateley Manor every day. YMEnglish#reading#sharingbooks#school/home partnership

[World Book Day UK 📚 @WorldBookDayUK]

Spending just 10 minutes a day reading and sharing stories with children can make a crucial difference to their outcome and it’s fun for all involved. You can read together anywhere and everywhere, from breakfast to bedtime!

A great night for our Year 5 writers receiving certificates and a winner’s trophy in the Junior Rotary club local round. Fingers crossed for the district competition! YMEnglish#creativity#theme of connections#winners#family support
