The St Ursula\u2019s community celebrated Book Week in style this term. There were daily competitions in the notices and in the library as well as a Kahoot and badge making. The week culminated in our annual dress-up day where staff and students got into the spirit of Book Week by coming to school dressed as a book character or as if they were going on an adventure. This year we had over 90 Wally\u2019s teaching and working at St Ursula\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Year 7 and a selected group of Book Club students also had the opportunity to listen to and work with Kristin Darell. Kristen is an author and journalist who has written middle grade books about football and the zoo. Kristen shared with us how she has combined her love of sport and animals and her interest in research to write engaging books for young people. She gave the book club her insights into how to structure a story with a good beginning and a solid ending. We can\u2019t wait to read her upcoming series called \u2018It\u2019s a twin thing\u2019 due for publication in February 2026.<\/p>\n

Thanks to all the library staff for organising a fun week of activities and the staff and students for their participation. Congratulations to all the competition winners who took home a new book or book shop voucher.<\/p>\n
