The Hobbit!! YYYAAAAYYYY!

Miss Kemal, Mrs Sheriff, Mr Coombes, Mr Hart and myself are off to the cinema tonight with about 60 Flegg High Pupils from years 7, 8 and 9. We are going to see The Hobbit - a much awaited film version of the J R Tolkein novel.

We are very excited for the following reasons:

Me: I loved The Lord of the Rings, and this will get us into the christmas spirit!
Miss Kemal: I get to sit with Miss Bailey and Mrs Sheriff after school...what more could I want?
Mrs Sheriff: I get to eat some yummy sweets while watching a book I loved!
Mr Hart: I love Harry Potter - I think this will be quite similar.
Mr Coombes: I don't have many friends so it will be nice to do something with someone. I also loved the books and can't wait to see it come to life!

We will give you a review as soon as we can!

Merry Christmas one and all!

Book club...with a difference...

Some of you may know that I force my friends to take part in a book club with me. I don't really force them though, they do actually enjoy it! We read the same book over a month or so and then all meet up to discuss what we liked and answer some questions. (I usually cheat and get these off the internet!) Luckily, most of us have liked the books we've read so it's not been a chore at all. We have a laugh, talk about the book and eat some yummy food to keep us going.

Last week, I asked some of the best readers in my Year 7 class to make their own book club. They were allowed to choose a book and will be reading it over christmas. Luckily for them, they get to eat yummy food when they meet to talk about it too! Their posts will be arriving after the lovely holidays!

If you are interested in joining a book club at school - come and see me!
