Book awards
West Hatch's reading group joined more than 200 enthusiastic readers from schools across Redbridge, Havering and Newham to celebrate the Redbridge Children’s Book Awards at Redbridge Town Hall.
Students had spent several months reading the shortlisted books and had voted for their favourite children’s and teenage book published in 2015.
West Hatch voted for the two books which were the eventual winners - 'One' by Sarah Crossan (teenage category) and 'Car-jacked' by Ali Sparkes (children’s category).
Three of the shortlisted authors - Ali Sparkes, Holly Bourne and Teri Terry – were at the ceremony and students could meet them and have books signed.
West Hatch students beat the other schools to win one of the table quizzes.
