Dear Families
Following on from a very successful Book Mastermind this year, the Book Mastermind will be running again next year. Heats for this will take place, after February half term, during English lessons in the library. Students need to choose a book (before Christmas) from the list attached and will have 2 minutes to answer questions about it. There will then be a final in school later in the school year. Please can you share the list with your child and help them decide on which book to choose. Students can also get advice from their English teacher.
Kind regards
Miss Peacock Reading Advocate
