WEEK B

Library Spotlight Shells take over!

Library Induction Starting last week on Friday, Shell pupils have been giving up one of their English lessons to have a Library induction. This involved starting with a short talk, watching a video of a cat roaming the shelves, a brief tour of the library, and ended with a group scavenger hunt!

Summer Postcards

Every year, new Shells receive letters over the summer from Ms Eldred introducing the Library. The letter contains a self-addressed postcard, and pupils are asked to write back with their favourite book and the book they are currently reading. Those postcards then make up a glorious display which hangs in one of the library windows. Ms Eldred pores over them on the lookout for any books we might not currently have in the library so she can buy a copy for the shelves! This year, Mr Gormley used the responses as inspiration for one of his Library displays, and we added ‘Shell Recommendations’ to one of the shelves in The Book Box on Field side.
