Book club

 

 

On alternate Wednesday afternoons after lessons there are clubs. The other week there is a debate. Sarah and I have been running Reading Club since January. Sarah loves reading and her e-reader is a big hit with the students as it has a touch screen and they love to play with it.

 

Strangely reading club is not as popular as Maths Club or Journalism, partly because there isn't much of a culture here of reading for pleasure and partly because students don't see this club as a valuable supplement to their studies when compared to Maths or Science Clubs. However, as well as being fun, reading will improve their level of English which in turn helps all their school subjects as all examinations are in English.

This week we had four Form 4 boys join us, some of them reading and discussing their set texts, asking for the meaning of words, and generally enjoying relaxing with a good book!
