Our blog update for this week was slightly delayed because the library took some year 9 pupils to the "Writing Britain" exhibition at the British Library on Friday. We had a fantastic time, we did a brilliant workshop that encouraged us to discover the parts of the exhibition that meant the most to us personally.
Prior to going to the library we had a group discussion about places that meant a lot to us, and some people had a go at writing about them. This theme continued in the objects that the girls liked best in the exhibition.
We were excited to see original manuscripts of Harry Potter, Cider With Rosie and Jane Eyre. Mrs Saint-Smith was thrilled to see Persuasion written in Jane Austen's own hand, and everyone loved Stephen Walter's map of Liverpool.
