Happy New Year!
Welcome to 2019 in the Peak School Library!
To start the New Year off well, we have set the students of Peak School a Book Review Challenge. Any children who bring in a completed book review sheet will be awarded 5 house points. Yes, you read that right, 5 house points are available for any completed book review. It doesn't end there, if your book review makes it onto the wall in the Library we are giving a further bonus of 10 house points to those students.
The library has already seem many reviews coming in, and the competition is tough, but do not fret, you have until Friday 1st February to hand in your reviews. Below is a list of useful tips to make your Book Review stand out from the rest, and also some of the things we expect for you to get the 5 house points:
- Choose your book well. It can be any book that you've read (doesn't have to be a library book) and any kind of book, but make sure you can write about it and create a picture from it. Does it spark ideas for your review?
- Get creative. Use colours and try different handwriting styles. How will your review draw our attention...
- Plan your writing. We want you to persuade us to read your book choice not tell us the plot of the book. So think how your writing might make us want to read it too. We do expect full sentences and grammar.
- Don't print and copy. We'll be looking to see what you can do in your review.
- Hand it in. We can't wait to see all your reviews and you have until the 1st of February. Remember only one entry per student.

Tintin is 90.
Hergė's Tintin would go on to become one of the forerunners of comics in Europe and a cultural icon not just across Europe, but the world. We have multiple copies of all the adventures in our library and they are consistently popular with our readers. If you want to start reading them for the first time, or want to rediscover the thrill again, there's no time like the present and we have them ready and waiting for you.
