At KWS, all staff are invited to join our book club and we have meetings at the end of each half term. Staff agree on a book to read and meet up in our school library during home learning club to discuss it; this allows students to see us as reading role models and it benefits our wellbeing too! Everyone has their own perspective on the books so the discussions are varied and interesting.

In March we read:

The End We Start From by Megan Hunter

We generally enjoyed the book and had a good discussion about the fact that characters are referred to by their initials the writing style was interesting as the text is separated by gaps and asterisks.

It’s a post-apocalyptic, dystopian novel set in Britain. Flood waters close over London and a woman gives birth to a child. The young family are forced to flee their home and seek safety with relatives but disaster strikes and they must flee once more. The book has been turned into a film starring Jodie Comer.

We have already started reading our next book:

How to Solve Your Own Murder by Kristen Perrin
