Really excited to welcome multi award winning author Tamsin Winter into our school tomorrow, in collaboration with @kibworthbooks to give our young people a talk on her latest book ‘I Dare You’ @KibMeadAcad #teentalks
Whether it is cheering on our #NCrquiz2025 teams or diving into stories in class, reading is a passion we all share @KibMeadAcad . Good luck from the whole of our school to our 2 teams taking part in the @Literacy_Trust @ALCS_UK tomorrow. Good Luck!
Very exciting day ahead. We have a VIP author visiting us @DanFreedman99 to talk to our year 7s.
Looking forward to meeting you!
He is best known for his hugely popular series of Jamie Johnson football novels/TV series @KibMeadAcad

Whilst in @kibworthbooks, I was very fortunate to meet author A.M. Dassu @a_reflective as she was conducting guest bookselling as part of #IndieBookshopWeek. Pop in and see Debbie and Kirsty @kibworthbooks, you never know who else you may meet! @DrPThompson @KibMeadAcad
A.M Dassu @a_reflective, it was fabulous to meet you too. Its been great that we have met virtually through @Reading_Rampage and even better that you remembered us!! You are a lovely person #meetanauthor
We are celebrating Pride month and our most read books; Heartstopper by @AliceOseman. With the help, resources and 'gold dust' goodies from our very own local bookshop @kibworthbooks, here is our library display @KibMeadAcad @DrPThompson
We hosted 2 virtual author talks in our library this week with @jeffreykboakye and @HelenRutterUK as part of our @Reading_Rampage programme . They were brilliant! Our students were completely engaged with both authors and interacted with them very well. @MidlandsCLS @DrPThompson
3 of our students took a different approach to portray Piano at the Station by @HelenRutterUK. They had a fun afternoon making musical themed cakes and a booklet of the process! Fabulous work ! @Reading_Rampage @MidlandsCLS @DrPThompson
The Piano in the Station by @HelenRutterUK is another popular choice for our Reading Rampagers! Here is another trailer by 2 of our students hoping to inspire more readers. Well done, fabulous work! @Reading_Rampage @MidlandsCLS @DrPThompson
They are coming thick and fast...another of Reading Rampagers has produced this fabulous trailer for The House Trap by @emmydee73 @chickenhsebooks . Fabulous work! @DrPThompson @Reading_Rampage @MidlandsCLS #brilliant
KMA are looking forward to our virtual @readingrampage_ author talks in the next few weeks with @SophsWills @HelenRutterUK @jeffreykboakye @simonjamesgreen #exciting @DrPThompson
3 of our creative and committed students have done a book trailer for 'Piano at the Station' by @HelenRutterUK to inspire students to read this book.
To say I am proud is an understatement. Well done!
@DrPThompson @Reading_Rampage @MidlandsCLS #amazing
This book has a dyslexia-friendly layout, typeface and paperstock so that even more readers can enjoy it. @BarringtonStoke #readingforall
Two of our Reading Rampage mentors have made this amazing trailer for a book we are all reading, The House Trap by @emmydee73 . Well done! @DrPThompson @Reading_Rampage @MidlandsCLS
More fabulous author talks in our library with our Reading Rampagers. Thank you Emma Read @emmydee73 and Simon Fox @SimonFoxAuthor for giving our students an insight into being an author, they loved it! @DrPThompson @Reading_Rampage
Our Reading Rampagers have been busy talking to authors this week. Thank you to @acaseforbooks Anna James and @hibbanoorkhan1. Our students are definitely inspired @Reading_Rampage @DrPThompson
Many thanks to @KevFComicArtist for coming into KMA to do his fabulous comic workshops. He was a definite hit with our students and this is some of what they produced.
All had their caricature done to take home with them along with a group effort comic @KibMeadAcad @DrPThompson
Happy reading! Yr 9s helping our Yr 7s in our Reading Buddies session. Comfortable and focused students. Fabulous work!
