On Friday 27th September, a small group of Year 8 students attended The North Cornwall Book Festival, along with other Cornish schools, at St. Endellion near Port Isaac.

There were some fantastic authors to entertain and inspire the students with talks and workshops. These included Gina Blaxill, Joanne Nadin and Clare Furniss. A free book from the bookshop was provided for every student, courtesy of Seasalt. It was an amazing day and our students shone at being engaged, imaginative and articulate as well as enjoying the range of workshops on offer!

Student Fred wrote this review of the day:

"My favourite thing about the festival was the range of topics and tasks, for example Gina Blaxill did a task where you wrote a plot for a murder mystery, whereas Joanna Nadin did a task where you had to guess a book based on their first lines. I also enjoyed the range of books they had to buy and loved that they gave you a voucher to use to get a free book of your choice. I had my books signed by the authors which was amazing, and I am reading them all now."
