Wessex Schools Literary Festival 2018

Litfest

The festival is over for another year and it has been a busy two weeks. Highlights of the fortnight were Book Sculpture – the excellent creations were displayed and much admired on Open Evening. The day with Helen Dennis – the award winning author of the the ‘River of Ink’ series – was very successful. Her engaging presentation kept both year 7 and the visiting year 6 entertained. Book sales were very impressive and proved the power of seeing a real live author. Yet again Sally Goodden held an amazing workshop in the Art Department.  The students work has been displayed in the library and much admired.  By clicking on the picture you can see all the work produced. There was frantic searching for Golden Tickets on the last day of the festival and the students efforts were rewarded  with new books.

It’s over for another year and we give our thanks and appreciation to all the staff and students who have taken part and made the festival possible.

Wessex Schools Literary Festival 2017

Litfest, Uncategorized

The first week of this years Festival is over and we have enjoyed a  wonderfully creative day with Sally Goodden in our Art department. The students drew and painted animals with impressive results.

Book Art was once again on the agenda. Students spent the day in the Textiles department and with great imagination and thought produced amazing art.

We also had a visit from horror writer Chris Priestley, who informed and inspired Year 9 in Thornden Hall.

Also, during the week, there was a quiz and author story time in the library.
