‘Roots for Life’

Mrs. Daw and Mrs Packman run a monthly 150-word or less book review competition. The aim is to review a book currently in the school library, writing for an audience of 9-13 year olds. The prize is a £5 WH Smith voucher. Enter either on paper or by emailing library@woodland.beds.sch.uk.

The School Library is an exciting place with lots of fun and interesting books to read. The books are changed regularly, using the Schools Library Service, and include non-fiction books, to help with projects or just to find out about something that interests you, as well as fiction books by a wide variety of authors. Why not read some of the book reviews to help you choose a book or write your own review of a book to help others choose?

Events

The Library organises several book fairs a year, which earn the library commission, usually in the form of books. The next one is planned for 13th - 15th October.

Author Mark Robson, visited the school to run a Fantasy Writing Workshop for pupils from Year 7. All the children really enjoyed Mr Robson’s visit as well as learning a lot about writing fantasy stories.
