SCHOOL NEWS: Self-help writer visits Buckler’s Mead Academy

YEAR Nine students at Buckler’s Mead Academy in Yeovil were treated to a visit from thought-provoking fiction and adolescent self-help writer Nicola Morgan. 

The author began the assembly by telling the year group she was going to change their brains, which the students soon discovered was not a lie!

Nicola explained in a very factual yet comprehensible manner about the causes and effects of stress on the mind and body, and the students can now use a host of useful tips in this year's exams.

Each of the students were given little black stickers called ‘stress dots’ which changed colour according to the students’ skin temperature in order to give an idea of their stress levels.

One student Marnie Athersuch said: “This was a brilliant assembly. I will definitely be buying one of Nicola's books!”

Nicola’s books are available to borrow from the school's innovative study centre and more tips can be seen on her website www.nicolamorgan.com .
