Another successful Booknic ✅ If you don’t do these in your school, I highly recommend it. Great way to share reading research with families & then give the opportunity to move around the tables, get comfy & read with their child whilst engaging in book talk 📚 Reading for Pleasure 🧶

We were very lucky to have a virtual visit from sufiya ahmed , Cabot Primary School ,last week, packed with fascinating facts, anecdotes, puzzles and mystery. Rosie Raja’ has been one of our most popular borrows for a while and we now have even more to ponder upon.

My favourite end of term thing is keeping the library open for staff to come and browse and borrow books for the holiday. This time I included a display in response to Adolescence.

A thought for the holidays. If kids are READING FOR PLEASURE, they're doing the best holiday work they could possibly do. Reading for pleasure has the biggest positive impact of any factor on children's life chances. So let them read things they actually want to read! #literacy
