Young People Judging Panel

Reading can be and should be a very enjoyable experience. Each year the Royal Society asks 100 panels of young people nationwide to read a short list of six children’s science books to decide which one will be awarded the Book Prize.   This year Stewards students from years 7 to 9 were invited by Science Alive to take part. Several evenings after school the students read the books and decided which book, in their opinion, came out top. Our results will be added to the rest of the national scores and the winning book will be announced soon.

Students in Stewards Young People’s Judging Panel:

Kennedy Wayman 7JS, Riley Hanson 8RP, Joseph Thomas 8MT, Isaac Lucia 8NF, Becky Warwick 8RP

Jack Rust 8RP, Taonga Chabva-Shoperai 8RP, Hamza Kazmi 8RP, Thomas Goodenough 9HS, Luke Sams 9DJ

Our results are as follows:

1st ‘What Mr Darwin Saw’, written by Mick Manning

2nd ‘How the World Works’ written by Beverley Young

3rd ‘The Icky, Sticky, Snot and Blood Book’ written by Steve Alton

4th What’s the Point of Being Green?’ written by Jacqui Bailey
