A group of our Year 9 students, Alfie, Avril, Dominika, Daniel, Oscar, Sebastian and Philip, took part in shadowing the CILIP Carnegie Children’s Book Awards.
This involved reading, discussing and reviewing the eight shortlisted titles selected by the judges and is the third year that the school has taken part.

| The Cosmic Ravensbourne Readers |
Known as the Cosmic Ravensbourne Readers, the Shadowing group met for the last time on Friday, 21st June. As well as discovering books they wouldn't normally choose, the group enjoyed being able to express their opinions each week in a relaxed and friendly environment over a biscuit and a drink.
As a thank you for taking part, Ms Roberts bought in a chocolate cake and everyone received a certificate, bespoke keyring, chocolate bar and a free book of their choice.
The brilliant The Poet X, a verse novel by Elizabeth Acevedo has won this year’s Carnegie Medal. Voted for by The TRS Cosmic Ravensbourne Readers, The Poet X was also the winner of the Shadowers’ Choice Award. A new award this year, the Shadowers’ Choice Award was voted for by the 4,500 school reading groups who shadow the awards.
The winner of the Kate Greenaway Medal was The Lost Words illustrated by Jackie Morris, written by Robert Macfarlane.
The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo and the other shortlisted Carnegie books are available to borrow from the Discovery Library.
