Gillotts Library

Year 7 class enjoyed their genre lesson, the last library lesson this term. They picked the themed table to sit at and decided on their favourite book based on cover, blurb, opening and random page in the middle of the book. One minute presentations followed.

Some of our Year 6 Pioneers enjoying their library session yesterday.

Our final week of Year 6 Pioneers in school. They have been making new bunting for the Library. I love it when children are still enjoying the classics.

@brian_bilston Yesterday we had two AGMs in an independent bookshop - Four Bears Books in Caversham! A real gem of a shop.

A fascinating talk yesterday from Sarah Ronan of @GreenerHenley about solitary bees and why we should encourage them into our gardens.

A display of some of the reading posters created by Year 7, with some added bunting by our Year 6 Pioneers.

Today I welcomed Year 6 Pioneers. They made a piece of reading bunting for the library. This one just made me smile. Reading a book is like jumping into a pool of inspiration, hallucination and a mixture of feelings. You can get many genres. My favourite are horror and mystery.

To celebrate #GreatBigGreenWeek we had a celebration vegetarian picnic on Wednesday. A sunny day and a happy time had by all.

Eco Club and staff had an inspiring time at the Great Big Green Fair in Henley-on-Thames last Saturday. Thanks to @GreenerHenley for setting up our Mini Science Fair.

@annabelwriter He will be so pleased! I'll let him know that you replied.

@GillottsLibrary Oh this is absolutely brilliant! Thank you for reading Skandar, Oli!

Year 7 making posters of their favourite books. I love it when they embrace the idea completely! Well done Oli and thought you would like to see this @annabelwriter

Eco Club yesterday - a pleasant walk in our lovely school grounds. Mr Delorenzi was just showing off picking nettles - don't try this at home!
