We can’t wait for our visit from #joshsilver tomorrow! Students have been devouring HappyHead and it will be great to talk all things dystopian fiction and learn more from Josh about how writing can benefit young people’s mental well-being @OneworldNews @RocktheBoatNews
When Volume 5 lands… so much joy in the library and beyond #Heartstopper @AliceOseman 🍂❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜
It’s #NationalTreeWeek this week so we made our annual book tree and welcomed the lovely Megan and Alfie from @TreesforCities in to talk to students and staff about our very, very exciting collaboration with them! Watch this space 🌳 🪴 🏫
Very happy to receive our signed copies of Every word a lie by @SueWallman today. If you’re after a gripping murder mystery full of twists, tension and suspense, come and get it! #readingatelthorne 📚
It’s #NationalPoetryDay2023 and here are some of our budding bards crafting their own works at the @nhehs Poetry Conference. They also loved listening to @hannahlowepoet recite sonnets from her collection The Kids and soaked up her words of encouragement and wisdom too.
We finally got all our Summer Reading Project winners together this week. Well done to all of them! We loved seeing all your wonderful illustrations, reviews and fact files and celebrating with your proud Head of Year Mr Bardsley #readingatelthorne #readingforpleasure

Well done to Ebba and the team at the Elthorneon on this very special Green issue. We’re particularly proud as it shines a light on the hard work and dedication of all the students in the Eco Committee and KS3 Eco Club. Spring issue available to read in the library or on SMHW! 🌎
Some of the outstanding winners in our Comic and Manga Art competition. Once again, we have been completely blown away by the incredible talent of our students. Congratulations to Oliver in Year 10, our overall winner👏
Always so impressed and genuinely happy to see students working on projects in the library. Alessia was adding the finishing touches to her GCSE Art portfolio and just look at it 👌✍️⭐️
Wonderful visit from @sarahgovett today. Students were full of ideas for their own dystopian stories thanks to her brilliant workshops. Year 7 were curious to hear more about her writing career and went away thoroughly inspired! #readingatelthorne 📚😊
