Illustrator Visit

Steven Lenton

Our Nursery, Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 classes had a very exciting Friday afternoon. The wonderful illustrator, Steven Lenton came to visit. 

Steven read extracts of his new books, 'One Hundred and One Dalmatians' adapted by Peter Bently and the latest in the Shifty McGifty and Slippery Sam series 'Jingle Bells' by Tracey Corderoy.

Then the children were treated to a-draw-along-Lenton! .

Ali - Amber Class

 Steven shared with the children how to draw his book character, Slippery Sam, and the children drew their own. Ali in Amber Class did a fantastic drawing where by Slippery Sam's hands look like they are actually moving.

It was lots of fun!

Afterwards there was a chance for the children to purchase Steven's books and have them personally signed.

Many thanks to Steven Lenton and the Pickled Pepper Books.

Book Fair

BOOK FAIR

Congratulations 

Together we raised a staggering 

£1629.00.

This means that we have the fabulous sum of

£1000 

to spend on new books and resources for our library and school.

We transformed our library into a mini-bookshop and every child at St Joseph's had a chance to visit our Book Fair. We had a poetry competition for Year 3 - 6 and the winners got Book Vouchers to spend at the Book Fair.

Ilaria - Tanzanite said "I love the Book Fair. I bought 'Harry Potter Wizarding World' which I love reading"

Thank you to everyone for being part of another successful book fair!

We waved goodbye to the Book Fair!

We had a lot of fun!

Thank you to everyone who came to the Book Fair. 

Every book bought helps to get FREE BOOKS for our school library!

Final Day for the Book Fair.

It is in the School Library until 3.45pm today.
