We have newspapers and books available for students in the library who want to learn more about the passing of #QueenElizabeth and what will happen next. Many have chosen to take newspapers home as souvenirs of living through this historic moment
Welcome back to school! It's great to see so many Year 7s bursting into the library, excited to borrow before they've even had their first library lesson!
Itβs @littlerebsprize and Planet Omar day! What a brilliant coincidence since I have this wonderful award to thank for this series being out in the world! Ultimate Rocket Blast illustrated by @kyancheng Thank you for making the pages jump! @HachetteKids @craigliterary
We are delighted to announce that journalist @renireni will be visiting the school on Friday afternoon to engage in conversation with a select group of students. Year 10s should check their email for booking form - first come, first served!
Students 11-16yo are at high risk of suffering Post-Wimpy Kid Syndrome (PWKS). Symptoms include reluctance to read anything other than 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid' and low mood after finishing the Wimpy Kid books. Fortunately @booksfortopics have a great poster of suggestions!
Thank you to the fantastic @newbeaconbooks for hosting visits from our @jhalakprize judges this term! They loved learning more about people addressing issues in the publishing world and being able to buy a wonderful variety of books
Of 'Aces of Spades', one Y10 judge said: "Excellent book I was tempted to give up sleep to finish it. Who would enjoy this? Individuals who like drama and would like to read on systematic racism."
Second for Key Stage 4: @faridahlikestea's 'Ace of Spades' was the resounding winner, followed up by @ManjeetMann 'The Crossing' and @tanyabyrne's 'Afterlove'
