WINTER READING CHALLENGE
This week
we have welcomed into school our local Islington Librarian, Raksha Agheda.
 |
| White Class |
Raksha
dropped into the assemblies for our Year 3, Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6 and
visited Nursery, Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 in class. She came to talk to the children about the
importance of joining the local library.
 |
| Assembly |
It is FREE
and you can join from birth!
She
surprised the children by telling them that the youngest person that she helped
to join the library was only 6 days old!!
 |
| Orange Class |
Raksha was
delighted to find out that many of our children are already members of their
local library and she recognized some of our children as they often go to
Archway library.
 |
| Diamond Class |
As the
mascot for the Winter Reading Challenge is a penguin
she entertained the
children reading from a range of books with stories about penguins.
 |
| Reading to Pearl Class |
The
children had an opportunity to ask her questions about the library and how it
works and she gave out lots of stickers.
