Weekly update from Miss Earle
We are delighted that the 2000 books in the refurbished Watkinson Library have now been catalogued…….. thanks to the sterling efforts of Ms Bramhall this week. Before the Easter break, they will be labelled for use by pupils following the Accelerated Reading Scheme.
Pupils in years 7 and 8 have now tested their reading age so that they can find books which are appropriate for their standard. They then complete an online quiz before moving on to another book, steadily progressing further with their comprehension levels. While we wait for the completion of the Watkinson Library, pupils have been introduced to an extensive online library of free books in order to start using the system.
The Ferguson Centre will have a range of titles available for Sixth Form pupils when they return after the Easter break, so we are currently collating books ranging from fiction to biographies to those teaching useful skills.
The Oak National Academy library is featuring author Will Mabbitt this week, with The Unlikely Adventures of Mabel Jones available online for FREE! There's also a fun video with Will, a Q&A all about reading, children's books recommendations and fun activities to download!
