This morning, author Bianca Vickers visited children in Year 1 and read one of her books, The Travelling Turtle’s First Adventure.
The children enjoyed the story which took them on a journey all around the world, meeting lots of different animals and focused on mindfulness.
They loved joining in with all the actions and listened to the message of the story – we are all special in our own way.
Don’t forget, Bianca Vickers will be visiting Year 1 children this Thursday (11th November)!
If you would like to buy her book The Travelling Turtle’s First Adventure (£6.00) you can do so buy visiting Parentpay.
Another terrifically enjoyable session with children from Reception and their families.
There are still some spaces available for upcoming sessions, please check parentpay for availability.
Next half term, we would like to invite parents from Reception & Year 1 to attend our after-school library sessions.
This will be an opportunity for you to visit our wonderful new library, share books with your child and speak to staff about all things reading.
This will be offered on a first come, first served basis with parents being required to sign up via ParentPay.
The library will be open to parents on the following days and times:
Year 1: Tuesdays 3:00 – 4:00pm
Reception: Wednesdays 3:00 – 4:00pm
Please wear a face mask for this session, unless you are exempt.
If we can please ask that you collect your child as usual from the playground or nursery lane gate and then wait outside the main reception until a member of staff collects you.
We look forward to welcoming you to our new library.
Author, Bianca Vickers (Bianca previously taught at ACE) will be visiting Year 1 children on Thursday 11th November.

Great excitement over the past few weeks as children have been visiting their new library.
They have had a wonderful time exploring, testing out of all the seating areas and even reading a story or two to Aslan the Lion. The verdict? They LOVE IT!

Exciting news, over the summer holidays the Library is going to have a makeover!
Miss Whiteley needs some help with thinking of some ideas of what the new Library should look like. Can you help?
Think about what sort of shelves, seating (could be beanbags, sofas, seating that is part of the bookcases), would you like tables and chairs, computers, what about the flooring? Also think about colour, what colours would you like? How about a theme such as Space or Under the Sea?
Your class School Council representatives will be talking to you about this so if you have any great ideas please tell them and they will let Miss Whiteley know.
Keep checking the Library blog for updates!
