The Mayor of Islington

 The Mayor

We welcomed The Worshipful the Mayor of Islington to St Joseph’s today.

He came to launch the

SUMMER READING CHALLENGE

The children gave him a standing ovation as he walked through the school on his way to our library.

The Mayor was very impressed with our library, which is at the heart of the school and provides an inspiring and calm place for our children to read. He particularly liked our cosy book nook under-the-stairs with cushions galore. Perfect to escape into a book! 

The children gave his Worship a guided tour or our library and found out that his favourite book is ‘Oliver Twist’.

The Mayor spoke to the children about the importance of reading and especially to keep reading over the Summer.

Join in with the SUMMER READING CHALLENGE
