New Term Once again the summer holidays have passed us by and we are hopefully all

refreshed ready for the new academic year. I hope you have all been reading

over the holidays? If so, pop down to the LRC and complete a Reading

Review Poster for the LRC noticeboard. My aim for this academic year is to

make reading fun for you all. I have numerous events planned for the next

year ranging from reading activities, book clubs and author visits.

As always if you wish the LRC to stock a particular book that you really want

to read, please ask a pupil librarian at the library desk for a slip to fill out.

I wish you all the best for this academic year and if I can help you at all with

anything regarding reading or the LRC please come and see me.

Happy Reading

Miss Suffield

I found out that some

pupils have been

reading Private

Peaceful in English,

so I thought I would

read it after hearing

such amazing

recommendations.

Private Peaceful is

both moving and

informative and gave

me some insight into

how it was like to be

a soldier during

World War One.

This is a fabulous

book which is well

written and enticed

me into reading War

Horse which is also

written by Michael

Morpurgo Plant your seeds early in the morning and keep working in the field until

dark. Who knows? Your work might pay off, and your seeds might produce.

Book Review by Alisha Ahmed—Year 10 Pupil Librarian

BOOK TITLE: Maze Runner AUTHOR: James Dashner

Maze runner is the first in a series of books written by James Dashner. It starts off with a boy called Thomas. When the doors of the lift crank open the only thing Thomas can remember is his first name. He is not alone. He is surrounded by boys who welcome him to the Glade, an encampment at the centre of a bizarre and terrible maze. Like Thomas, the Gladers don’t know why or how they got there or what’s happened to the world outside. All they know is that every morning the walls slide back, the Runners will risk their lives to find out. I would recommend this book as it is an action packed, Sci-Fi novel that will have

you at a nail biting cliff-hanger at the end of every chapter. I thought the book was

quite good and my favourite character was Newt who was elected first welcomed

Thomas to the Glade. Newt steps up to being the leader after Alby is attacked by a

Griever, a creature who lives in the maze, and has to make harsh decisions. He is

friendly and kind towards Thomas but he is always keeping secrets and refused to
