Reading Events

Reading is very important to us here at St. Cuthbert's so over the year we will do lots of things to celebrate books and ensure children enjoy reading! Keep your eyes peeled!

National Poetry Day 2023!

We celebrated National Poetry day on the 5th October. Each class chose a poem and a poet to study. Take a look!

Author Visit!

M.T Sanders and his dog Bandit visited our school on Thursday 29th June 2023! The children were able to meet an author and the character from one of his books - Bandit! They had a story session and a question time! They loved it!

World Book Day 2023!

The theme of World Book day this year was Reading for Pleasure, we took part in lots of activities that promoted us as readers and allowed children to enjoy reading! This year we invited children in to school dressed as their favourite book characters! 

Reading Area Challenge!

This year the teachers took part in a reading area challenge! They created a fun and inviting area for children to enjoy reading in their classroom! Take a look at some of them...

We gave each class their very own Book Advent Calendar to enjoy during Advent! Each day/week of Advent they get to open the box and take out a book to enjoy!
