Book Week at St Faith's
09/03/2012
Book Week at St Faith’s will be taking place this year between the 12th and 16th of March, with lots of exciting activities taking place throughout the school involving competitions and character days.
We are delighted that author Joan Lennon will be joining us for part of the celebrations, and will be talking to pupils from year 3 through to year 8.
Joan’s latest book, ‘The Cambridge Mummy’, involving the Mummy in the Fitzwilliam Museum, is hot off the press. ‘An ancient curse has been let loose in cold, wintry Cambridge. Priceless artefacts are found crushed mysteriously to dust at the Fitzwilliam Museum and long-dead Egyptian Queens stalk the corridors of Girton College – but what do bicycles and bloomers have to do with it all?’ The young detective, Slightly Jones, is faced with one of her most bewildering cases yet. ‘The Cambridge Mummy’ is the third of Joan’s books in The Slightly Jones Mysteries. Joan has also written a series of mystery novels set in the Fens, The Wicket Chronicles.
The Pre Prep Department will be treated to a visiting storyteller, Nell Phoenix, as part of the Book Week celebrations. Nell, who has been performing professionally since graduating from Goldsmiths College in 1984, has performed hundreds of performances to thousands of children and families in schools, art centres and festivals all over the world. We are thrilled that she will be joining us in such an exciting week of activities.
