The winner
of this year's award was Emma Pass for The Fearless - a gripping dystopian
tale.
We have
met as a reading group once a week since October, diligently reading the six
shortlisted books for the award. We also
made numerous contributions to the Concorde Blog during this time. Our efforts were rewarded last night, when we
were presented with the Blogging Award (A Bristol Blue Glass paperweight) at
the event. It was chosen for the quality
of the blogs written, including how we interacted with other schools, our
opinions on language used in books and how we compared some of the books to
others we had read. The award was collected from
guest author Cavan Scott by Bethan Jenkinson and Melodi Bending.
