World Cup fever has hit our school

We have a display up in the library and there are several books on display for you to look at.  All our students are enthusiastic about this huge historic event. Go the mighty ABs!
If you want to find some good websites on the Rugby World Cup, have a look at these ones.

Thank you to all who took part.  I enjoyed hearing about the books that you all read.

Fleur was a great hit here. She talked about several of her books and told us that you have to give your characters problems to solve or else your stories will be boring. Here's a picture of her in the library.
