The Year 7s have beat the Year 8s with 20 students getting 100% on their Pastoral Reading Quiz vs. Year 8s 12 students. Each 100% earned 5 merit points!

The longlist for the prestigious Carnegie Medal for Writing came out over half term—do any of them look interesting to you? When the shortlist is announced in March, Ms Appelquist will be running a Carnegie Shadowers Book Club. Watch this space!

Have a great week everyone, and keep reading!
