Fab books win pupils' Confidence

Burntwood School launched a new book award for Wandsworth secondary schools at a ceremony this week.

The award, called The Fab Book Award, will allow teenagers to vote for their favourite books so that they can be recommended to other students.
School librarians came up with the idea to encourage students to voice their opinions on which books they thought were the best.

A school spokesman said: The long lists, shortlists and winners of most of the established children's book awards are decided by adults. The Fab Book Award has been developed by Wandsworth secondary school librarians so that students can have more of a say about which books they want to read and see winning awards."

Pupils and librarians from Graveney, Ernest Bevin, Saint Cecilia's, Southfields, Ashcroft, Elliott and Battersea Park schools attended the event last week.

RECENT EVENTS

 

 

On Friday November 6th, Elliott students in Years 7 and 8 were treated to a spectacular talk and demonstrations in the art, craft and science of Samurai swordsmanship by Chris Bradford, author of The Young Samurai series of books.
 
In the afternoon Chris held a writing skills workshop with some of our Gifted and Talented Year 9 and 10 students.
 
Look at more photos from Chris Bradford's visit to Elliott.
 
"When I heard that Chris Bradford was to be visiting my school, Elliott, I thought
it would be a boring author, talking about his book for an hour.  I was wrong.
He made the book sound exciting; as he was reading it a chapter for us he acted it out with his Samurai sword.  He even talked me into buying a copy at the end of the day.  It’s no wonder it is an award-winning series. I recommend his books to anyone".
