Two weeks ago, the new books we had been waiting for were delivered to our library, so we now have every single book on each of the Essential Guides for our children to borrow and enjoy.
This mammoth operation has largely been conducted by our school librarians and it involved a lot of hard work.
Last year, the whole school took part in a sponsored walk around the village to raise the funds. The Librarians then conducted an audit of all the books in the school to find out which books on the Essential Lists we had and which ones we still needed. At the same time, they worked with Mrs Hare – one of our school governors – to ensure the guides featured inclusive main characters and heroes from a diverse range of backgrounds and these were added to the lists. Next, they liaised with FOFSA who bought the books we needed. And finally, over the last two weeks, they have been busy stamping, stickering and organising our books so they can be shared with the right year groups.
Well done Librarians and how fantastic to be able to share their work with the school on World Book Day!
