The Learning Resource Centre (LRC) team and six students from years 7 and 8 attended the Warwickshire Book Awards Ceremony yesterday (Thursday).The daytime event at Warwick School’s Bridge House Theatre was organised by the Warwickshire Schools Library Service. The participating students read six shortlisted books and last week voted for their favourite. At the ceremony everyone listened to three authors in person, and three online, talk about their books and the inspiration behind them. At the end of the morning, the winning book was announced, ‘When the World was Ours’ by Liz Kessler and the students then talked to the authors and had their books signed by those there on the day.
A big thank you from the LRC team – Mrs Thompson, Miss Sharpe and Mrs Drage – to Bea, Ellen, Libby, MJ, Renate and Sam for giving up their inset day day off to attend and listen to the authors (Renate, Ellen and Sam are pictured afterwards with their signed books).
