Over half term, we would love for you to take part in our Extreme Reading event

We would like the children to have their photo taken reading their books in unusual and out-of-the-ordinary places. An example could be up a climbing frame or on a trampoline (please consider safety as a priority).

The closing date is: 2nd March so you have plenty of time to get involved!

Please send your entry to your child's class email:
