Federation Book Club

Three of our able readers attended a Redbridge & Lordshill Federation Book Club Event at Southampton Central Library.

Each of the children and staff were tasked with reading a book prior to attending.
Mrs Mahoney enjoyed reading "A Boy Called Hope" by Lara Williamson. This is a wonderful, warm, funny, emotional and sometimes sad story about a boy trying to get in contact with his father.
The other books were:
"Over the Line" by Tom Palmer. A powerful historical novel about one footballer's experience in the First World War. 
"Twelve Minutes to Midnight" by Christopher Edge. An exciting atmospheric thriller story.

We met with staff and children from other Federation schools to discuss our books. It was great to make new friends and really get into a great book chat!




Look out for Oakwood's book reviews in the next edition of Oakwood News Bites!
