Traitors Update – National Year of Reading! Last week we lost Mr Blakey (Faithful) and Mrs McDonald (Traitor)... and this morning Mr Bailey (a Faithful) was murdered! Some say he's "on a course"... but we know better! This week's reading task: research five facts about any favourite author from the display. The more authors you research, the more shield votes you earn! And you'll need them - a TRIPLE banishment is coming. Students, it's over to you... Your reading could change everything! #gosforthjuniorhighacademy #nationalyearofreading2026 #readingforpleasure #GosforthGroup #creatingfutres
