Today we had our Reading Fiesta, where all the children dived into books and continued to read for pleasure and foster a love for reading. The whole school had an assembly followed by buddy class reading. There was also a scavenger book hunt where the children had to guess the title of a very famous book! Throughout the day, the children participated in various book activities, from classic books, to diverse books and well-known author books. In the afternoon, parents/ carers and families were invited to share a book and read with the children. The teachers demonstrated how reading and fluency are taught and how they can best support at home too.

We also would like to thank Tesco Stronger Starts, Pickled Pepper Books and Angle House Foundation as they awarded the school with a grant, and we have been able to purchase brand-new books for our Reading zone, class book corners and our new outdoor Book Hunt, which is also filled with wonderful books!
