Holiday Support

Years 7-9
We'd like all students to have read a book for leisure that has a history theme. Go to your local library or sibling's bedroom or bookshop, and have a browse around the history section. Find something that interests and enjoy. Anyone who writes a written book review of their own and brings it to school in September will be rewarded.
