Local Co-op Supports Our School!
Just before the start of the summer holidays we heard that our local Co-op store had secured funding for our school to support our encouragement and love of reading. We had worked together to make an application to the national pot of money that the Co-op gives to the local community. The Store Manager supported our application and we secured the maximum amount of £250.
Every child in school was encourage to take part in the Summer Reading Challenge, through the local library. We welcomed Chris Jones from Inspire, who delivered an assembly to the whole school about the Summer Reading Challenge. Years 2,3 and 4 also walked to Forest Town library too and many joined the library and were given a library card.
Six of our children took part in the Summer Reading Challenge and brought in their certificates to show us that they had red six books over the holidays and they were given a round of applause in the Special Mentions Assembly.
We had took a bit of time to purchase their prizes, (sorry about that!), a £10 Book Token each. We hope they enjoy spending their Book Token and choosing their next book to read. Well done. Hopefully more children will join in next year!
