The Great Charity Shop Book Scavenger Hunt is now ON and books are being sent in across the school. Thank you for your contributions so far.

Last year, with the Walk on the Wild Side, we raised £1,500 to buy as many of the books on the Essential Guides as possible, but we still have more to do to complete our collections and we need your help.  

So this year, we have launched the Great Charity Shop Book Scavenger Hunt. We would like you to scour the book shelves of charity shops wherever you go to find as many of the books on the Essential Guides as possible, buy them and donate them to the school. The books on the lists highlighted in yellow are the books we already have in school. (Children’s books in charity shops normally sell for about £1, so please don’t spend more than this.) The School Librarians will monitor how many books from the lists we have managed to collect and will keep track of our progress with a special display. If we manage to meet our target by the end of term, there will be a special treat for everyone during one of our Book Worm Sessions on Friday afternoons.  

We will add a special sticker to the inside of all donated books to read, “Kindly donated by the _________ family.” 

We hope you can help us with this initiative. The local charity shops are full of fantastic children’s books that would make a huge difference to the quality of our class libraries. With your help, and with the money raised earlier this year, we hope to be able to complete our collection of every book on the Essential Guide. How good would that be?!
