On Tuesday the ILC hosted a Literary Evening for parents. Around 20
people gathered for wine and nibbles, and a chance to chat to our guest
speaker James Phelan before his presentation. Later were then
entertained as James talked about his beginnings as both a reader and an
author.
James is a phenomenally successful author for adult readers, as well as writing very popular books for teen readers. His series The Last Thirteen
was inspired in part by nightmares he experienced as a young child, and
his father’s advice for him to imagine taking a backpack of useful
things into the dream to help him escape.
For term 3 the ILC will be hosting an anime club for all year 7s and 8s. This week students were watching Howl’s Moving Castle
while learning the art of origami folding. Later this term we will have
a tutor available to help teach you to draw your own manga-style
characters.
Come and join in, relax and try something different.
