WEEK BEGINNING 26/01/2026

Library Spotlight Our first Poetry Society Collab!

International LEGO Day Wednesday 28th January Calling all LEGO enthusiasts, future engineers and creative souls: On Wednesday this week, which happens to be International Lego Day, we are launching an on-going library LEGO project! The challenge: Build a LEGO diorama depicting either a scene from a book or a scene from school life to fit permanently in the library. Pupils and staff are warmly welcomed to take part. There is NO DEADLINE for completion, you’re welcome to take part any time from now until we run out of space - or LEGO - the limit is your imagination!

Born into a Jewish ghetto in Hungary, as a child, Elie Wiesel was sent to the Nazi concentration camps at Auschwitz and Buchenwald. This is his account of that atrocity. Describing in simple terms the tragic murder of a people from a survivor’s perspective, Night is among the most personal, intimate and poignant of all accounts of the Holocaust. It remains one of the most important works of the twentieth century. Good to know: Let us know in your email if you would prefer to remain anonymous for the Valentines competition. Send your entry to: library@stedwardsoxford.org This year, we’ve teamed up with the Poetry Society - look out for information and advice coming from them soon!
