What’s the Virtual Bookshelf all about?
Our librarian, Mrs Pike, is gathering resources for our virtual bookshelf every week.
Students are able to read extracts, look at clips, and then access contextual material she has put together to support her recommended reads, building knowledge and creating engagement. We hope you enjoy looking through the resources.
