On Wednesday 30th April, our Reading Ambassadors attended The Kernow Youth Book Awards (KYBA) in ‘The Fibre Hub’ at Pool. As part of our school’s commitment to being sustainable, we walked down to the train station (in glorious sunshine) and caught the train to the event!

There were some amazing and very different authors to entertain and inspire the students with talks and workshops. These included Robin Fulvey, Bex Hogan and Matt Oldfield. Robin talked about his book Fulmar, based on a boy whose life was saved by surfing, Bex discussed the darker side of fairytales and her book Nettle, whilst Matt spoke about the very popular series of football books that he’s written with his brother Tom.

At the end, a free book and certificate was given to each student, courtesy of The National Literacy Trust. It was an inspiring day and our students shone at being engaged, imaginative and articulate!
