Following Year 7's visit to the theatre to see an adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island we had a discussion in the Library about what we mean by a classic. We looked at the definition in the Oxford English Dictionary (my favourite reference book) and then thought about classic books, suggesting titles. A list of classic books arranged by genre was given out to paste into English exercise books. All the books on the list are available for loan from the school library, and of course, make a great Christmas present or gift for a child at any time of the year.
Season's Greetings!
