A few weeks ago, our Reading Ambassadors enjoyed a very special trip in the school minibus to ‘Bags of Books’, a wonderful Bookshop in Lewes. Mrs Jacobs and Mr Purveur accompanied the children, and they delighted in hand-selecting brand-new books for a lending library we have named the ‘Golden Tree Lending Library’. These books can be borrowed and shared in classrooms to further enhance the children’s reading experience – supporting breadth and depth of reading as well enriching our curriculum offer here at Waterfield.
The children thoroughly enjoyed the chance to explore the shelves and had prepared a wish list I advance of our trip having conducted pupil surveys as to which text types, authors, genre etc they wanted to see more of. It was wonderful to support the children and to see their excitement.
