Key Stage 3 Library Lessons for Term 1
Key Stage 3 library lessons in Term 1 were met with enthusiasm by the students, who eagerly participated and created impressive work.
Miss Pitt, an English teacher, praised her Year 7 students for their enjoyment of the library system and resources. The students had a blast tracking down books using the Dewey Decimal System (a valuable tool utilised by libraries worldwide to categorise books by subject) and were inspired by learning about Black History Month. The students are looking forward to future lessons.
