In this Book-ish we have highlighted some special events we celebrated in the library and beyond, with our newest Book-ish team member, Sonny writing about a local festival.

Well done to the whole team for all their hard work designing, writing and photographing for this issue. Finally, farewell to our Year 11 leavers. The first students to ever be a part of our school, we are proud of you and hope you achieve all you want for your exams and the future.

WORLD LAUGHTER DAY

World Laughter day is on the 5th May (First Sunday of May)

It was created as a manifestation of world peace, to bring the world together.

& WorldPoetry Day Poetry Month

The Academy of American Poets in April 1996 launched National Poetry Month as a special occasion that celebrates poets’ integral role in culture and that poetry matters. It has become the largest literary celebration in the world, with tens of millions of readers, students, teachers, librarians, booksellers, literary events curators, publishers, families, and—of course —poets, marking poetry’s important place in our lives.

World Poetry Day was first adopted 21 March by UNESCO during its 30th General Conference in Paris in 1999, with the aim of supporting linguistic diversity through poetic expression and increasing the opportunity for endangered languages to be heard.

It can take someone a year to speak out about their mental health.

Make sure to be supportive of your friends and family and let them know you are a safe person to talk to.

You never know what someone is going through.

What is it like for someone with Dyslexia?

“My brother finds it difficult to read and write. He particularly finds it difficult to spell and use the correct punctuation in sentences. He has to practise reading aloud and spelling at least four times a week.”
