Save our libraries!

As many of you know, we organise an annual visit to our local library to all of our classes. We are very saddened to hear that the libraries may be closing. Please support them and attend their awareness walk!

Boom Reader Drop in

Thanks to those who attended Miss Huxley’s Boom Reader drop in – hope you found it useful. For those who could not make it, here is a copy of the slides so you can see what was covered in the session. Click on the link here: Boomreader Drop In

Please do have a chat with Miss Huxley on the gate if you need some help with Boom Reader.

 

World Book Day highlights!

What a fantastic day we had – here are some of the highlights!

During World Book Day teachers created book blankets in their classrooms, they watched live lessons and the Reading Ravers were sharing their favourite book recommendations! Friends of Raddlebarn also bought every child a book to take home! Check out some of the work the children have been doing on the class pages – it will start appearing over the next few days!

We all enjoyed dressing up! – even Hazel!

We had so many literary visitors sharing their fave stories with the children-Craig from @stanscafe, Sarah from @flatpack, Beverley from @touchbasepears, Julianne from @StirchLibrary, Jenny from @BraveWren book shop to name a few!

Can you spare a few hours a week to become a reading helper at our school?

We are working with Coram Beanstalk, a charity that recruits and trains volunteer reading helpers who can commit to an afternoon a week to come in to school. As a reading helper you will support at least 3 children on a one-to-one basis outside of the classroom environment. You will be sharing and talking about books, helping them to grow in confidence and develop a lifelong love of reading.
