Reading Challenges
Let’s Get Reading! This coming year we are taking part in the Lancashire-wide ‘We are Reading Campaign’, and we will be working hard to promote and encourage reading for pleasure and a lifelong love of reading to everyone in our school family.
National Story Telling Week
Over the past 25 years The Society For Storytelling has achieved much in its mission for the promotion of the oral tradition of storytelling, the very first way of communicating life experiences and the creative imagination.
2019 marks the 19th year of its Annual National Storytelling Week.
This week KS1 boys have had the opportunity to visit the Library and enjoy stories and activities all about the sea!
The girls from KS1 and KS2 were also given the opportunity to visit the library and their theme was Jacqueline Wilson books. They enjoyed the stories and activities and were really excited to have a trip out in the snow.
Picture Book World Cup!
Thursday 21st October 2018 saw the launch of our Picture Book World Cup. Each class chooses their favourite between a fiction and non-fiction picture book, which then goes head to head with a winner from another class. The overall winner was Journey by Aaron Becker!
