📚✨ Celebrating Literacy & the Joy of Reading! ✨📖

This week, we’re celebrating two important dates that shine a spotlight on something at the heart of every primary school: the power of words and the joy of reading!

🌍 Tuesday 8 September – International Literacy Day
International Literacy Day is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the importance of literacy and the opportunities that reading, writing and communication can open up for every child.

📖 Wednesday 9 September – National Read a Book Day
A chance to put down the screens, pick up a book and get lost in a great story! Whether it’s a much-loved favourite, a brand-new adventure, a funny story or a fascinating non-fiction book, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

At our schools, we know that reading is more than just a skill – it can inspire imaginations, build confidence, develop vocabulary and open the door to new worlds 🌟

So, this week, we’re encouraging our pupils, families and staff to:
📚 Share a story together
💬 Talk about your favourite books
🔎 Discover a new author or genre
🎭 Bring stories to life through drama, art and play
❤️ And most importantly…make time to enjoy reading!

Blackbirds Class loved carrying out some fieldwork this week! They enjoyed planning routes and explaining the directions to take. Their careful planning helped them locate lots of different human and physical features! Rise Multi Academy Trust
