Week 4
This week the students were able to purchase books from our Scholastic Book Fair in the library. Also, this is the final week for students to get ‘Caught Reading’ around school. Prizes will be awarded after the Easter break.
Author Visit
On Friday 20th March, year 9 and 10 students attended an author workshop with Anna February, the author of ‘The Hive’.
During the workshop, the students were tasked with solving a murder mystery using various clues, information and using problem solving skills. All students engaged with the sessions and enthusiastically worked together to solve the mystery.
It was lovely to see a real buzz about the visit and to see students discussing the workshop during break and lunchtime.
A Spotlight on the Library
This month the library display has focused on Women’s History Month.
