Fantastic night at the Globe. Year 11s loved Romeo and Juliet - provoked lots of chat on the bus back to Tottenham. Best Playing Shakespeare production so far! @Dukes_N17 @The_Globe @lucycuth8 @aldridgeonline

Fantastic visit to Malorie Blackman exhibition at the British Library. Quote of the day from Kaliyah, " I love the way she turned her rage into writing". @Dukes_N17 @BL_Learning @malorieblackman

Such a fantastic surprise. Just a small selection of the books we were gifted from the Children's Book Project. Ms Kinkead better get cataloguing them quickly! Our prize supply is also replenished! @Dukes_N17 thank you so much, Tracy. @lonbookproject @aldridgeonline

If we care about the future of our children - we need a library & a librarian in every single school, to help every single child find the books that will make them readers! Libraries & librarians change children's lives FOREVER! #GreatSchoolLibraries
