Thank you to Mrs Haworth and Mrs Wooldridge from Surrey Libraries for delivering two wonderful Summer Reading Challenge Assemblies in School this week.

This year’s theme is ‘Story Garden – Adventures in Nature and the Great Outdoors’, which aims to spark children’s imagination and inspire a love of reading through nature-based storytelling.

The challenge is open to all primary-aged children (though older pupils can join too!), and it launches on Saturday 5 July, running through to Saturday 13 September.

Children are encouraged to read up to six books over the summer to earn rewards, including a certificate and a wristband.

Children will need to be a member of the library to sign up for the challenge, but joining the library does not take long and is free.
