Sooo proud of my wonderful year group! This is absolutely awesome Year 10!
Y10 @BrightonHillSch showing their #kindness with their Foodbank donations for their community contribution; the boot of my XC90 wasn't big enough!

Another step in promoting a love for reading. Today, my Y11s got another book - this time wrapped up for Christmas. Some were from my shelf, some new purchases from charity shops and some donated by class members or staff. The genuine gratitude and joy was second to none 🥹

In my bid to continue promoting a love for reading, I gave Y11 a little questionnaire & the answers are wonderful. We read every Friday afternoon, my bookshelf has never been so popular & students are talking about what they’re reading. Nearly 90 books have been read since Sept!

Every year I think maybe this year I won’t do them. And then I think about the magic it creates, and I can’t help myself! Busy few weeks ahead! 🎅🏻

10BVM are working so hard at the moment. Can’t remember the last time I felt so proud of a group. Resilience has improved dramatically in 6 weeks and they are working so hard!

To honour #BHM I am celebrating some of the texts in my class library written by black writers. After learning about Malorie Blackman last week and discussing her novels, I’m hoping some students will want to read what’s on offer!

When Year 11 are genuinely disappointed that it’s not a reading lesson, and one stays behind after lesson to “reserve” a book they want, you know it’s working 📚 💛

When your department is lucky enough to have not 1, but 2 Chloes who magically have the same birthday! It’s got to be a special day 🩷🧡💛🩵

Promoting a love of reading for pleasure. 3 weeks ago, I chose a book for each of my Y11 students and have spent time carefully picking modern and classic texts for my joyful shelves. 3 weeks in we’ve had 2 glorious reading lessons and so many fab discussions about books 📚💛

Part 2. Students have recommended books to me and others, have swapped books, and have asked for books they’d like to see on the shelves. Opening up a time & space to discuss reading has been a genuine joy. 💛

Lovely weekend away. Last weekend was a school residential, this weekend far more chilled!
