Some of the Year 7 students who were on the trip, engaging with the collection at the Millennium Library! Thanks Miss for the photography and for leading the trip! @MrsTNaim

Fantastic time at @MillenniumLib todayβ€”massive thanks to Adam and Apryl who showed us around and sorted out new library cards! A happy bunch of student librarians were set loose among the books, and represented us very well in their manners and humour. #SchoolTrip #LibraryLife

Fantastic to see, coming from another school librarian who loved Wranglestone! We've popped a lil #ProgressFlag heart on our books to highlight them, for #Pride2022 (and the rest of the year). Wranglestone is also now on our Reading Aloud curriculum :D #ReadWithPride

Book recommendation of the week is Black Brother, Black Brother by Dr J.P. Rhodes -@jewell_p_rhodes- A tense, affirming and powerful novel about strength to face racial prejudice through fencing, family and self-advocacy. Sharp as a foil and veryβ€”forgive the punβ€”touching.

So excited to get these on the shelves. A mix of current teen and young adult reads, as well as @DrIbram X. Kendi's important sociological, practical, and illuminating book, How To Be An Antiracist. #VictoryReads #LibraryLife #NewBooks

In between #reading (I chose #KevinCrossleyHolland's Folktales of Britain & Ireland) we watched clips about different myths, including this one from Jason and the Argonauts. The students arrived with enthusiasm and plenty of knowledge from #mythology around the world. #Library

A few of our students in their #cosplay for yesterday's #Gods & #Monsters #Mythology event - here we have a wendigo (Algonquin-speaking Native American) a banshee/bean sΓ­ (Irish) and the god Dionysus (Greek) We had a great time learning about various myths and eating biscuits!
