Super Readers - Sienna Reads 'Brown Bear'

Developing a life long love of reading is one of our key goals over the next few years. With the addition of Mrs Sparkes (our resident librarian) we have made good progress this year. The library has been organised, library cards given out, books catalogued, reading groups established, technology embraced (ibooks on the iPad and read through Apple TV) and trips to the library added to the calendar.

In addition we have started to sent groups of pupils off to London to see books brought to life in West End shows: Mathilda last term and War Horse in January. By the end of the year we will have had visits from two authors - Anthony Lishake and Jeremy Strong. Our pupils have submitted entries for a dinosaur book illustrated by Mike Spoor who did a drawing workshop for the pupils.

Now we have started to record the children reading their favourite books. First up is Sienna, who has done a brilliant reading of 'Brown Bear'. Watch this space for more classic tales, which you can then use as bedtime stories at home!
