This holiday season, our amazing pupils have been busy spreading the gift of reading across the school! They’ve taken on the special task of interviewing staff to uncover their 2024 reading highlights and their goals for 2025. 📖✨
Our pupils then carefully selected a library book for each staff member to enjoy over the holiday break and have been busy distributing them this week. We can’t wait to hear about all the new adventures and stories the staff will dive into! 🌟📘
Happy reading, everyone! 🎅🎄📖 #readingschools
