Here are some photos taken of Y7 working on their Crimean War projects.

Florence Nightingale was born 12th May 1820 in Florence, Italy.  She was the daughter of a wealthy landowner and grew up in Derbyshire/Hampshire in England. Florence - the Lady with the Lamp - is famous for her pioneering work as a nurse in the Crimean War . She died on 13th August 1910 so this year is the centenary of her death.

We had a special visitor all day today!  Tom Palmer (the author of "Foul Play") ran some workshops which included a very special kind of library football.  Thanks to all for taking part and particularly the members of staff who were goalies!

Just to remind you that Tom Palmer (author of 'Foul Play') will be holding workshops for Y7 and 8 groups in the Chapman Library on Tuesday. There will also be a chance to purchase some of his books - so remember to bring some extra cash if you'd like to buy one.

We've put up a display all about the election in the Carliol Library. You can find all sorts of information about the main parties, their policies and what they mean for young people.
