World Book Day

What a wonderful World Book Day we enjoyed yesterday at Penn Wood, with children and staff parading as their favourite book characters. We certainly spent the whole day with big smiles on our faces! A love of books and reading is one of the most important gifts we can give our children and books are a central part of the excellent curriculum that we provide here at Penn Wood.

All of the children read 'Our Tower' by Joseph Coelho, and explored the book with discussion and some lovely written outcomes. They were a pleasure to read!

The older children visited classes from the lower school and some wonderful sharing of books and paired reading melted the hearts of the staff.

We thank you for supporting your child's love of reading and for encouraging them to read and share books. It was also delightful to see so many parents and carers attend Nursery's reading session yesterday morning.
