BOOK FAIR Thanks to all the students and staff who supported the recent SCHOLASTIC Book Fair. Given that it was held in such a small space, as the junior library, we actually did quite well, and the profits will go towards new books in the junior library!
EVENTS
Coming up in February, is the start of the Year 8 & 9 Sponsored Read. It will be a joint initiative between the Junior Library and the English Department, and all the money made will go to Trocaire.
Sponsor packs will be sent out to all the participating tutor groups on Tuesday 23rd Feb, 2010
YEARS 8 & 9 SPONSORED READ FOR TROCAIRE
SEE HOW MANY BOOKS YOU CAN READ DURING LENT AND GET SPONSORED FOR EACH ONE YOU FINISH!
STARTS TUESDAY 23RD FEBRUARY.
WORLD BOOK DAY
THURSDAY 4TH MARCH
Look out for your free £1 Book Token, which will be sent out to you in the tutor files. Tokens can be used against any book, in most book shops.
THE JUNIOR LIBRARY & SCIENCE WEEK
During Science Week, beginning the 8th March, the Library will be co-hosting an event with the Science Department.
Conservation Volunteers, from Bangor, will be encouraging Year 9 pupils to take part in ‘The Lunch Box Challenge.’ It should be a fun event looking at the packaging we use in our lunches and how it can effect our environment!
Watch this space to see how it goes…….
