Henry Whipple Book Swap

Today, the whole school had the opportunity to participate in a book swap.
This enables books to be reused and recycled. Our children are able to read stories that have already been read for pleasure.
Happy reading!

World Book Day
World Book Day: Thursday 6th March
Today, we have enjoyed exploring a variety of stories through reading for pleasure. Our wonderful teachers chose their favourite stories to read to the children. Each class sat around the fire pit with a drink of juice and a biscuit whilst listening to a story.

Reading percentages: The Reading Champions are displaying the reading percentages in the hall.
Persistent non-readers: The children who are continually not meeting our school expectations, the Reading Champions and Miss Buckley have created a letter for class teachers to send out to the persistent non-readers.
The Reading Champions will share with Mrs Powell if this continues.
Our next steps: At our next meeting, we will discuss what we are going to be doing for World Book Day 2025.
