THE SOMERHILL REVIEW 2023/24

Prep Library A YEAR IN THE

It has been a busy year in the prep library with numerous highlights, including literary events, author visits, a brilliant book fair and the launch of a brand-new library. We have also celebrated the talents of our creative and enthusiastic pupils, who have enjoyed success in numerous reading, writing and illustration competitions. More than 70 children in Years 4-6 rose to The Reading Agency’s ‘Summer Reading Challenge’ of reading six books over the summer holidays, and 4VM was awarded the class prize as the form with the highest proportion of completed entries. In November, a hugely impressive 21 Somerhill pupils from Years 3-6 made it through to the second round of the BBC’s 500 Words national creative writing competition.The competition showcased the rich and diverse talent of our young authors, and the high standard of writing, creativity and originality impressed the judges.
