World Book Day The library celebrated World Book Day on Thursday 7th March with a range of activities to encourage fun discussion and reading for pleasure. A short story was split into short sections and shared in each class throughout the day, and the library also provided a free World Book Day book to every pupil in Years 8-10. There was also a themed lunch, a tutor time quiz, a display of some of the senior prefects’ favourite books, and a World Book Day treasure hunt round school.
Summer Reading Challenge The library’s annual summer reading challenge is back! All you have to do to be in with a chance of winning one of four great prizes (a voucher from either Boojum, Slims Healthy Kitchen, Starbucks or the cinema) is read either 5 books OR for 30 hours over the holiday period. Full details, and recommendations for Years 8-10, are in the challenge booklet that can be found on Firefly. Click the image to go to the page!
New Stock Mrs Johnston’s Year 9 class paid a visit to the Belfast branch of Waterstones in January, where they spent a morning choosing new books from the shelves on behalf of the library. As you can see, they chose some great titles!
