Raymond Briggs

So sad to hear that the author and illustrator of children's books, Raymond Briggs, died today.  Our students will probably remember him best for The Snowman book, which was also made into a beautiful film.

The Hunger Games

Amazingly Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games book was first published in 2008, but the series remains very popular with our students nearly 15 years later.  The first film was released ten years ago, in 2012, which of course reignited interest in the books.  Our students were very excited about the prequel to The Hunger Games, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, published in 2020.  We are pretty sure they will be excited to hear that the film of the book is due to be released in 2023, we know we are!
