Winston Book Week - Reading is Reading!
Next week, Monday 27th February - Friday 3rd March is Winston Book Week! Thursday 2nd March is World Book Day but here at Winston we like to go the extra mile, so not only will we be celebrating reading on this day, we have a week packed full of book and reading themed events for students to take part in. We want to really celebrate reading and encourage students to read in all different formats, whether that's a recipe, a magazine or a novel!
Please see the timetable below for all the different activities on offer. We are pleased to offer two author visits this year, Kirsty Applebaum for Year 7 and Andy Briggs for Year 8. These will include an assembly for the whole year group, along with 2 smaller workshops with a selection of students. Students have had the opportunity to register their interest for these workshops. Miss Dodds always holds a Bookworm Breakfast in the Library for those students who regularly help out in the Library. This is a lovely chance for them to chat with other avid readers over a hot chocolate about their favourite books!
Our Winston Swap Shop will be officially open! Students can bring in any books starting from Weds 22nd February that they've read and would like to donate to the Swap Shop and they will be given a coupon to exchange for another book next week during Book Week. This is housed in our telephone box in the Library.
Miss Dodds can't wait to see all the entries for the Book in a Box competition. They will be on display in the Library during Book Week and there will be prizes for the most creative, so get those entries in!
Watch this space for lots of photos and news from Winston Book Week at the end of next week.
