First book group of the year

“Our book groups provide a valuable opportunity for pupils to extend their reading and to hear other viewpoints,” explains Mrs Byrne Head of English.

“The first meeting of the new school year focused on Skellig by David Almond, which prompted lively discussion and thoughtful reflection.”

“These informal sessions not only broaden literary horizons but they also foster social interaction, critical thinking, and empathy. All skills which enrich both academic learning and personal growth.”

The Junior Book Group (for Years 3, 4 and 5) will meet on Friday 10th October to discuss Matilda by Roald Dahl, and again on Friday 5th December to discuss The Tower at the End of Time by Amy Sparkes. All welcome!
