On Monday, our Reading Hack representatives Eleanor, Amelia and Madeleine, visited Old Buckenham High School the current host, for the official handover of the blog. It was a great opportunity to meet with other students who share a love of reading and who were able to give us some useful hints and tips on how to manage the blog page. “Shelf Talk” will provide an excellent opportunity for Litcham school students to share book recommendations, reviews and other literary links with other schools and young people in the community. We hope that all students will take the opportunity to blog about the books they are reading, share pieces of creative writing or write film/game reviews. Further information about the blog site will follow next term.

“On Monday we ventured to Old Buckenham High to talk about the Shelf Talk blog that we will be taking over shortly. We discussed the ins and outs of the blog and how it worked with students from the school. They were really enthusiastic about it and gave us lots of tips on how to manage it”. Eleanor 9W

“Over hot drinks and biscuits we discussed our favourite books, interests and ideas for the blog. We shall be launching the blog after half-term and we hope to establish a long lasting link with Old Buckenham High School. We came away with many new ideas for our school library, including lots of Harry Potter ideas. A big thank you to Old Buckenham for hosting us so well”. Amelia 8B

“It was really good fun to see how other schools layout their library and they had an amazing Harry Potter display. Everyone was really down to earth and we came up with some great ideas we plan to use soon.” Maddy 9W
