This year our library was chosen to judge the Royal Society Young People's Book Prize 2019. As a school, we've always enjoyed the books nominated but it is so exciting this year to be playing an active role and getting feedback from students in order to choose the winning title.
The titles this year strike a great balance between sharing scientific information and displaying it using beautiful layouts and design.
Ms Campbell's students in Year 6 will spend time reading and reviewing the books. Some Year 7's will look at that them in library lessons if we have time. Students will earn two pupil reward points for each review submitted. Best reviews will feature in the Weekly Buzz. I can't wait to hear what they students think and to see which book will be chosen as the winner.
