Children from Years 3 and 4 will be visited by author Serena Patel on Friday 11th February. Serena will be talking to the children about being an author and about her books and will then invite children to ask her questions.

Workshops will then take place over the duration of the day for children in Year 4.

On Monday children in Year 2 were treated to a visit by author and illustrator, Bianca Vickers.

Bianca shared her latest book the The Travelling Turtle’s Christmas Adventure with the children. They all enjoyed listening to the story and loved trying to spot different items hidden on each page.

Another two lovely sessions this week and the last ones for children from Nursery, Reception, Year 1 and their families.

This morning Miss Cooke and Miss Whiteley met for the first time with the Class Librarians (one child from each class from Reception – Year 6 had been nominated to take on this role). The librarians were first each presented with a badge and then Miss Whiteley spoke to the librarians about their duties during class sessions such as scanning books and making recommendations. Miss Cooke later went to to explain the role in their classrooms.

The meeting closed with a group photo to make the occasion.

Over the last few weeks we have had a great turnout of families from Years 1 and Reception and they have very much enjoyed exploring the library and sharing stories with one another.

If you would like to come along to one of the sessions please sign up on Parentpay as there are limited places.

Year 1: Tuesdays 3.00-4.00pm

Reception/Nursery: Wednesdays 3.00-4.00pm

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.
