Poetry Slam!

Come along to the Library this World Poetry Day, Thursday 21st March, at lunchtime to hear readings from staff and pupils' favourite poets as well as some of their own work.  Entry is by donation to the school charity, the Lauren Currie Twilight Foundation (http://www.thelaurencurrietwilightfoundation.org) and there will be donation buckets on the door.  Anthologies of favourite poems will also be sold after the event, and we are looking for contributions.  If you have a favourite poem or have written something you're really proud of, why not submit it?

We're all mad here...World Book Day 2013

A great time was had by all at our recent 'Wonderland'-themed World Book Day celebration!  At the Mad Hatter's Tea Party, cakes were purchased by the bucketload raising over £150 for the school charity, the Lauren Currie Twilight Foundation.  Teachers and librarians got in on the act by dressing as book characters, and many members of the school community read extracts from their favourite books to a captivated audience.  This was all topped off by a fun Book Day Quiz.

Thanks to all who participated in this fantastic event, making it a huge success!
