National poetry day
If you had come to the library on National Poetry Day (October 6th) you would have seen wonderful displays, interesting competitions and, of course, the poetry recitals. It is plain to see that a lot of effort went into this and I would like to thank Mrs King and the library committee for spending so much time organising it.

Fair Trade Christmas Fair
Christmas may be weeks away but here’s an important date for your diary. The High School Fair Trade Christmas Fair run by Transition Year will this year take place on Saturday 3rd December in the Reynolds Hall in the school. As usual there will be the opportunity to purchase a wide range of fairly traded gifts and other useful items as well as charity gift cards. More information will be available nearer the date.
Transition Year students who did not attend the meetings last week (on Thursday or Friday) but who would like to be involved in making the Fair Trade Fair happen, should see Mrs Pearce (C21) or Mrs Reilly (B4) today or tomorrow.
