10 children from year 6 were challenged with the task of reading all eight books that were finalists for this year's Carnegie award, within the last couple of months. Mrs Johnson and I joined them in this and yesterday we all went to Holmfirth High School to an event run by Read bookshop.
At the event we took part in workshops to discuss the books with other schools and then we voted on our own personal favourites, before the actual winner was announced.
The book that won the Carnegie prize was 'The Poet X' by Elizabeth Acevedo, which was also the winning book at our event.
All eight books are now available to read for any of the year 6 children to read, but parents should be aware that some have more adult content and are aimed at KS3 level children. If you have any questions, please get in touch.
