Equality & Pride @ CHS<\/h2>\n
The CHS Equalities group provides a welcome space for all LGBTQ+ pupils and allies to meet every Wednesday at lunchtime. The group has been meeting in the library recently, where <\/p>\n Heartstopper\/ Alice Oseman<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Charlie and Nick are at the same school, but <\/span>they’ve<\/span> never met … until one day when <\/span>they’re<\/span> made to sit together. They quickly become friends, and soon Charlie is falling hard for Nick, even though he <\/span>doesn’t<\/span> think he has a chance.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span> International Women\u2019s Day <\/a>is held annually on 8th March. The aim of IWD is to raise awareness for gender equality and challenge stereotypes. It is also an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of women across the world, both from the past and the present day. These can range from female leaders to pioneers in technology to the women in our everyday lives, like female friends, mothers and grandmothers.<\/p>\n We have two spotlight lists for IWD this month. Our ‘heroines’ list features stories with inspirational women and girls, chosen here for their bravery, conviction,and smarts. Our HERstory list features books about real women who have done amazing things throughout history in science, art, politics and society.<\/p>\n You can view both lists on our School Library Padlet<\/strong>.<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n There are loads of new books to choose <\/span>form<\/span> this month, <\/span>particularly<\/span> if you like a murder or a lol in your stories!<\/span> Here\u2019<\/span>s<\/span> some that<\/span> we\u2019r<\/span>e<\/span> most excited to read this month.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/b> A dark and twisty murder mystery –\u00a0Ace of Spades<\/i>\u00a0meets\u00a0Riverdale<\/i><\/p>\n Trapped in a mansion with a murderer and a family of liars – how would you survive?
