Christ's School Library.

You too can join a club like this one (well your child can) (if they attend our school) every other Monday after school (not today) and there are always (usually) biscuits 😊

[Victoria Scott | Author @Toryscott]

My daughter asked me if she could go to Reading Club after school.
I asked her what it was, assuming it was help for those who need reading support.
"No Mummy," she replied. "We just read books and eat snacks."
What a perfect school club!

Dad fetched the big box of decorations from the attic. They spent a lot of time arranging them on the tree. When they had finished, they switched on the fairy lights and left the curtains open so that all the people passing by could see it.

CALLING ALL AUTHORS.I don't know who's left out there to read this but I'm a CAMHS mental health support worker. The children's ward I support in Sussex is among the most underfunded in the country & I'd love to boost their library. If any of you could donate a copy of your book-

What's that you say?
I could have shelved them all in the same time it took me to arrange them nicely on the trolley, photograph them and posted on Twitter?
But then you wouldn't have seen our KS3's fabulous choice of half term holiday reading material would you?

[School Librarian @Christs_Library]

Yesterday was so busy welcoming back all our readers after half term that the returns pile is teetering on the edge...
