We are playing Book Bingo for this term's House Reading Challenge. My first book will be The Great Godden by Meg Rosoff - not sure which category it will go in, at this stage there are several possibilities. Let us know what you're reading for #TormeadBookBingo21

Screenshots inspired by ‘Skellig’.  Great to be reading this novel with Year 7 in these difficult times.  A book full of hope and possibility. #tormeadtogether #remotelearning #empoweringeverygirl

Year 8 enjoying curling up with a good book. A welcome break from those screens! #tormeadtogether #empoweringeverygirl #readers

We would like to recommend some books for you to pick up this half term! Ms Stevens recommends: The Midnight Library by Matt Haig A magical library where you can relive and mend your past mistakes and choose your perfect life? Too good to be true... or are things that simple?

I enjoyed the AMAZING presentation on John Donne’s “Love’s Growth” by Alecia and Thalia today! Sophisticated and impressive work, girls! #remotelearning #sixthformfun #empoweringeverygirl #tormeadtogether

Miss Sheridan very much enjoyed the abridged 25 minute Hamlet written, directed and performed by our U6! She gave it 5 stars and dubbed it 'hilarious!' #remoteworking #tormeadtogether #empoweringeverygirl

Hopefully you'll enjoy this one HeadofEnglish

No human being, since the dawn of recorded time, has ever become a more perceptive reader and/or analyser of literary texts because they can spot Peripateia and Anagnorosis at fifteen paces. And they wonder why there's a crisis in A level English recruitment. 2/2
