SCHOOL MESSAGES
Welcome back to the New School Term!
We have been delighted to see the children return to school refreshed from the break and full of postitivity and enthusiasm.
STAFF READING CHALLENGE
This holiday season, each class, with the help of our dedicated Reading Ambassadors perused our fantastic library and handpicked a special book for their teachers to dive into during the break. The selection process was a true testament to the diverse interests and tastes of our young readers, resulting in a wide array of captivating titles!
From thrilling adventures to heart warming tales, our staff had a blast delving into these literary treasures over the holidays. It was a great opportunity for everyone to immerse themselves in the magic of storytelling and ignite their imaginations.
Now, as we ease back into the rhythm of school life, we'd love to hear about the wonderful books you and your children have been enjoying lately! Whether it's a classic bedtime story or a newfound favourite, feel free to share your reading adventures with us.
Don't forget to tag us on social media and use the hashtag #readingforpleasure to join the conversation and inspire fellow book lovers!
Happy reading!
