St Peter's Booker Shadowing Event

The St Peter's Booker Shadowing Event took place on Monday 17 October to coincide with the announcement of the official Booker winner. Pupils from the Lower Sixth and Upper Sixth English classes were invited to read books on the St Peter's Booker Shortlist and then they had the chance to argue why their book was the worthiest winner. After very close voting from their peers and teachers, Bea and Freddie (Lower Sixth) were the ultimate winners with their choice of 'Booth' by Karen Joy Fowler. All the pupils who bravely and boldly presented their thoughts on their texts were superb. Huge thanks for the support of the staff who were involved, particularly Mrs Wong and Mrs Mallard who gave the pupils this fantastic opportunity to celebrate the best of Literature and the importance of reading.

Bea says: I really enjoyed the whole event; the format was really great, especially with the high-tech voting! Everyone did a good job selling the books and I can't wait to read them 

Freddie says: I loved the event and thought everyone got fully involved. I can't wait to read the other books as the teams sold them brilliantly and could have all been worthy winners.
