Holocaust Memorial Day 2022

Thursday 27 January is the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi death camp.  The 27th of January now marks International Holocaust Memorial Day. On this day we remember all those murdered in the Nazi persecutions, and in the genocides that have followed.

This year we would like to recommend to you the very beautiful and moving book After the War by Tom Palmer.  After the War tells the stories of Yossi, Leo and Mordecai, three children who attempt to rebuild their lives in the English Lake District, having survived the horrors of the Nazi concentration camps.  

Children of Blood and Bone Tomi Adeyemi

The rights to Tomi Adeyemi's magical book Children of Blood and Bone have been bought up by Paramount Pictures.  Why not read the book before the film hits cinemas and streaming services?

Our lucky students will find this book in our Upper School Library.

Books into Film in 2022

A new Peter Pan film for 2022 starring Yara Shahidi and Jude Law.

 Read the book by J M Barrie first.

The film of the School of Good and Evil series was expected in 2017, you never know 2022 might be the year!

You can expect yet another remake of Pinocchio.

And an animated Diary of a Wimpy Kid, which makes sense because Greg was originally just a badly drawn boy!

Crisis at Christmas 2021

 

Thousands of people will be homeless this Christmas.

Each year, some of the staff at TRS choose to make a donation to Crisis instead of sending Christmas cards.  This year (after some late donations) the total raised was £225.  This will reserve more than seven places for homeless people this Christmas.

Crisis is a charity which offers shelter, companionship and life-changing services to people who are homeless.  To find out more visit the Crisis website.

❆It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas❆
