Delany Book Club news


The Book CLub met for the first time this year at lunchtime today.

Some were members last year but others are new, so we introduced ourselves and told the group what we are reading.

We are going to meet on Wednesdays and bring our lunch, book and a friend!


Gabrielle (Year 9) is reading The Outsiders.

Reanne (Year 9) is reading The Juliet Club.

Mishlene (Year 10) is reading Protrait of a lady.

Samantha (Year 10) is reading In ecstacy.

Hazel (Year8) is reading New moon.

Bowen (Year 10) is reading The diary of Anne Frank.

Mrs R has just read Declaration.


Next week Students will be hearing about an email from South Carolina.

Maybe we will get PageTurners running again!




Today's scribe: Mrs Radford.

Update 8: London (2)

The second visit was to Woolwich Polytechnic, an old school which has been moved to brand new buildings. The Library Manager, Mrs Humphries, also manages much of the computer services for staff and students and has recently toured other libraries. She is enthusiastic about visiting just as I am! This school has a lot of students who are new to English, and I was very interested in the Accelerated Reader program that they are offering. We will have a look at this too.


Most UK libraries that I saw are not big spaces but they use the space they have very well. Have a look at the this bay end at Woolwich.

Mrs R, who is moving on the Florida!
