The Scholastic Book Fair has arrived in school.
Each class will have a session to view the books and consider if they would like to make any purchases. You may send money in with your child on Friday to purchase a book. If you would like to help your child buy a book, you may come into school on Friday after lunch at 1pm. Parents may also view the books on Monday and Tuesday after 1pm. (Parent Interview time)
Each child will receive a £1 book token. This can be used when buying a book.
We are holding a competition in school. Pupils are designing book covers or drawing favourite characters. The winners will be awarded with a book token!
Reading is a skill that most of us take for granted, yet is one that is essential for being able to get on in life. As a child grows up, being able to read well not only enables them to discover new facts and to learn at school, but also opens them up to a world of new ideas, stories and opportunities. As research shows children who read for pleasure will achieve more than those that don’t in later life. All the decisions we make as a school on reading are based on research – we are well informed and up to the minute. All our staff are committed to ensuring that all children become independent and fluent readers during their time at our school. We want our children to enjoy books as much as we do!
