A favourite story deserves another reader. On Friday 23 October, our school hall will become a little book exchange, with each class visiting during the morning to browse and choose a book to bring home.
Children are welcome to donate one or two books they have finished. Picture books, early readers, poetry and fiction for older primary-school pupils are all welcome. Please choose books that are complete, clean and in good condition, and leave workbooks or books with writing in them at home.
Teachers will help children find something suitable for their age and interests. Every child will be able to choose a book, whether or not they bring one in. There is no payment and no pressure to donate.
Please send donations to your child's classroom by Thursday 22 October so we have time to sort them. If a book has a special message or family name inside, check that you are happy for it to be passed on.
We would love to see families continuing the conversation at home: ask which book your child chose, what caught their eye and who they might recommend it to. Thank you for helping us give good stories a second life.
