November's update
Busy, busy, busy.
Great news. This month we have added another 150 books to our library collection. This has included many new titles just released and on the Newbery or Caldecott long lists. Look out for them when you next visit. Not only that but many of our children have taken on the challenge of trying to read around the world. Some have already managed to read for the 22 hours required... well done we are so proud of you.
November means we also have a visiting storyteller. Nicky Bingham will be spinning amazing tales for our Year 2 and 3 students on November 26th. Find our more about Nicky here.

More author visits for Year 2.
Yes not only is Nicky visiting but the author Steve Barnes visited our school to talk about his book Hector. Now all the children can't wait to get their hands on a copy.
