Year 7 Read, Grow, Inspire Poetry
Year 7 students used inspiration from this year’s theme and artwork to write a “Read, Grow, Inspire” acrostic poem.
Reading is an
Escape from the world
Around us, and a place to
Dream
Grow,
Roots of the mind shooting
Out into the
World of Knowledge, a place where your mind can grow.
Inspire,
Nobody can
See it but
People really make a difference
In your life, by inspiring you.
Read, grow, inspire is something
Everybody should follow and look up to.
Emilia Grieve
Reading can transport you
Every day can be an adventure, a new land to explore.
All kinds of stories beckoning you closer,
Dancing with words, winding and twisting.
Getting smarter and growing with every page read,
Remember and make connections to involve even more.
Oceans of content to challenge yourself
Words nurture your imagination to make it grow.
Inspire yourself and give yourself a challenge,
New authors, genres, overflowing ideas.
Surprise the reader with a plot twist to change their view
Projecting a perspective of the world never seen before,
Illuminating a pathway to their imagination.
Read every word, every page you can
Entertained and entranced by tales of wonder.
Riley Wooster
Read
Every book
And
Dream about what you read.
Great
Run
Of
Wisdom
Inspiring people to read.
Not reading any book
Slows the
Possibilities of learning new things every day
It is
Really
Exciting to read books every day and everywhere.

Book Club Review
Teen Titans Full Throttle
Written by Adam Glass
Illustrated by Bernard Chang
Why I loved it:
I loved this book because it was like I was watching a movie. I loved the colour and the semi detailed drawing.
What it is about:
This book is about superheroes who are sick of doing things the way they have been taught. They change by doing things their own way, even though it means harming and even killing evil villains to keep things safe.
Who I would recommend this book to :
I recommend this book to people who love comics and conflict between heroes.
I also recommend people get library cards and visit our libraries at lunchtime!
