Good Men Read, Hale School 2026

Characters, author, plot question time

The most energetic group of year 7s readers I’ve had the pleasure to engage with. We set ourselves a goal of getting a certain number of points for a book quiz and had to lift it after just the first of 6 novels. Most enjoyable to talk about the dreams and opportunities reading first creates and then helps to realise and to share ideas about its many other benefits. Very much looking forward to talking later this week with some of the Hale year 8 classes about character painting and development and dissecting a chapter of Into the Sea with some year 9 boys.
