National storytelling week

During National Storytelling Week staff read stories to our students in the library every lunchtime.  Our theme this year was Memories from Childhood – books we read ourselves when we were younger, or books that were read to us. On Monday, Ms Foster read an excerpt from Roald Dahl’s Matilda and Ms West transported us back to our pre-school years with her rendition of The Gruffalo’s Child.  Tuesday saw Ms Atkinson reading Brother Eagle, Sister Sky followed by Benjamin Zephaniah’s  Refugee Boy read by Ms Nolan - a powerful story about a boy whose father leaves him in England to escape the war between Ethiopia and Eritrea.  Other highlights of the week included Mr Otterbu reading The Brothers Lionheart by Astrid Lindgren and Mr Phillips - our schools Number One Harry  Potter fan -  sharing one of his favourite excerpts  from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.  We have most of these books in the library, so if you would like to read more, do come and borrow a copy.
