Book Mastermind
Book mastermind will be running again this year and hopefully we can regain the interschool trophy. Students in year 7,8 and 9 will take part in heats during English lessons in between February half term and Easter. Top students in each house will then progress to the next round. In the heat students will have 20 questions to answer about the book of their choice from the attached list. In preparation for the heats please can you aid your child in choosing and reading a book from the list.
