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!”
