Year 9 at Bokmässan

During the annual Gothenburg book fair, our Year 9 students took part in an exhibition called “Vår Stad” (Our City). The exhibition was a part of the Gothenburg 400-year celebrations and featured photos from the everyday lives of 500 Year 9 students. The aim of the exhibition was to showcase the students view of the city of Gothenburg.

Our Year 9 students went to the book fair with their teachers and could observe the exhibition themselves. We are very happy to have our students be selected for the project and have their work shown.

Young Editor

Congratulations to Linus in Reception who spotted a mistake in his dinosaur book. The book said that in dinosaur times the temperature was 10x more than it is now when it should have said the temperature was ten degrees higher. Linus mother wrote to the Swedish publisher who agreed that this was a mistake and said that the English publication was also wrong. The mistake will be corrected in future editions of the book.

A Famous Greeting

But well done to all for taking part of the challenge as improving our reading is the real win.
