Book of the Week Recommended by teachers, librarians, pupils and parents
Book Title: Factfulness
Author: Hans Rosling
Age: 14+
Why students should read it:
When asked simple questions about global trends - what
percentage of the world’s population live in poverty; why
the world’s population is increasing; how many girls finish
school - we systematically get the answers wrong.
So wrong that a chimpanzee choosing answers at random
will consistently outguess teachers, journalists, Nobel
laureates, and investment bankers.
In Factfulness Professor of International Health and global
TED phenomenon Hans Rosling, together with his two
long-time collaborators, Anna and Ola, offers a radical
new explanation of why this happens. They reveal the ten
instincts that distort our perspective - from our tendency
to divide the world into two camps (usually some version
of us and them) to the way we consume media (where
fear rules) to how we perceive progress
(believing that most things are getting
worse). Inspiring and revelatory, filled
with lively anecdotes and moving
stories, Factfulness is an urgent and
essential book that will change the
way you see the world and empower
you to respond to the crises and
opportunities of the future.

Tales from the Andorra Slopes
Easter 2019!
by Edie in Year 8
“The ski trip to Andorra was a truly
incredible experience. For someone who has
only ever been skiing on dry slopes, staff
were amazingly accommodating of my lack
of experience and I had an extraordinary
time! I can clearly see how I have improved
and the mountains were breathtakingly
beautiful.
I can still conjure hauntingly picturesque
images of tall, white mountains interrupted
by swathes of army green pine.
The feeling was exhilarating – as close as I
will ever be to flying, and I am so grateful
for the opportunity.
The hotel was clean, the rooms were
spacious, and there were many different
meal options for people with dietary
intolerances or preferences. We had a
great time!
I would love to go again next year!”
