Reading Newsletter

Every half term we produce a Reading Newsletter to promote a love of reading. Please find time to share it at home together. In it, we aim to recommend some good reads, profile authors and usually have some book related fun with puzzles or quizzes!

A member of staff will share their favourite children’s books too. This time, its a big thank you to Mrs Morris, who works in the school office, who tells us all about the books she enjoyed reading as a child.

Enjoy!
