We’ve absolutely loved seeing the students’ entries for the Trinity School Book awards competition over the last few weeks. This award aims to celebrate quality writing in both new and older fiction, and is based around a different theme each year. This year the theme is You Are Here, and our students have been invited to enter the TSBA competition to write a book review or produce some form of creative response to one of the books on the shortlist. We’ve really enjoyed seeing the reviews and art-works produced by our students; an amazing piece of crochet from Violet and Julie in year 7 really impressed us! We’re crossing our fingers that one or more of our students wins a prize. Good luck to all who entered!

We were kept busy creating various book displays in our library over the last two weeks of the half term, including a rainbow themed display for LGBT+ History Month, a romance-filled St Valentine’s Day arrangement, and a celebration of Charles Dickens Day. We hope these displays inspire our students to read around a theme they’re interested in, or to try something new. Next up, Michael Morpurgo Month. Sir Michael Morpurgo has written over 150 books, so there are plenty to choose from! His most popular works include War Horse and Private Peaceful, and his latest book is called Cobweb, and is narrated by a Welsh corgi! Why not give one a try this month? There really is something for everyone in the Michael Morpurgo collection.
