There’s no such thing as owning too many books – not in our eyes anyway. Many of you have asked us whether we have any reading ‘books for pleasure’ for the children to take home alongside school reading books. Well, you will be pleased to know a member of our PTA has created a waterproof book box for the playground. In it, Miss Huxley is going to fill it with some pre-loved reading favourites! At the start and the end of the day you can have a look at what is inside. The idea is simple – all you need to do is ‘bring a book, take a book’ – it’s that easy.

By using our outdoor book swap you may be able to find something you’ve been wanting to read for ages, a book that has been read and lovingly passed on to its next owner several times, or even a brand-new copy of something that piques your interests. It will the perfect opportunity read new books and find a new book to love, check out an author you haven’t read before, or pick up a classic to share with the family. Even if a book is pre-loved, it’s an amazing feeling to know that someone has read and enjoyed the same story before you, and read the same pages.

Coming soon – keep an eye out on the playground!
