📚✨ OUR BOOK RAFFLE JUST GOT EVEN BETTER! ✨📚

Last week, our Student Council held their very first meeting — and they got straight to work! 🗣️💡

One of their big ideas was that we needed MORE BOOKS for our Book Raffle! 📖❤️ They took their ideas back to their classes, held class councils and gathered suggestions about the titles, authors and topics children would love to read.

And this week… the moment they had been waiting for! 🎉

📦 THE NEW BOOKS ARRIVED!
Our Student Council got to unbox them during assembly — and they were SO excited to see the new additions.

📚✨ Our book trolley is now fully stocked and ready to go! ✨📚

And remember, children can earn the chance to choose a brand-new book to take home by:

📖 KS1: Reading 3 times a week
📖 KS2: Reading 5 times a week

We absolutely LOVE seeing our children take ownership of reading and helping to shape our school community. ❤️

Happy reading, Burnhope! 🌟📚
