Mrs Howard Loves to Read

Recently we had a visit from Mrs Howard, our ESOL support assistant. She kindly read to Room 6 one of her favourite books Fire! Fire! by Lesley Rees.
Even though it was very noisy outside due to the construction of our new classroom block we all enjoyed listening to someone new!!
Come back soon Mrs Howard.

Rainy Day Reading

                       
                        What better place to be, than reading in the library on a wet winters
                         day!

                        My favourite new book this week is: One Smart Fish by Chris Wormell.
                        This is a funny tale about a fish who wants to walk on land!

Mrs Matchett Loves to Read

At the end of term one Room 3 was lucky enough to have Mrs Matchett from our school office come and read to them.

 Here she is reading  "Cave Baby" by Julia Donaldson. This is a new book to our library, but some of you might recognise the authors name. Julia Donaldson writes the hugely popular Gruffalo books.

Mrs Matchett tells us she loves reading and we love having her in the library reading to us!!
