Creating A Buzz About Books
Published by St Edmund's College and Prep School on Thursday 28th of November 2024
On Wednesday morning, we were delighted to host our first BookBuzz Literary Celebration for Elements pupils at breaktime. The English Department alongside Librarian, Julie Tyne, hosted the event where pupils received a free copy of a BookBuzz book and freshly baked cookies.
Pupils selected a book from a choice of 16 titles, selected by a panel of experts from BookTrust, the UK’s largest reading charity, which places emphasis on embedding a culture of reading for pleasure within secondary schools.
The celebration was thoroughly enjoyed by all and it was lovely to see our younger pupils discussing literature in such an animated way.
Catherine Curran, newly appointed Head of English & Media, aims to develop and foster intellectual curiosity within and beyond the syllabus throughout the academic year and above all, continue to promote a love of reading at St Edmund’s.
