Dear Parents & Carers,
It’s been wonderful to see so much excitement and engagement around reading this week for World Book Week, culminating in a fantastic day yesterday! So many home-made costumes and obscure characters, too – it really shows the depth of the love for reading at Coleham School.
Reading is so very, very important to children’s future prospects. The World Book Day organisation reported this week that children across the country are put off reading for many reasons, with 25% saying that they are made to read books they don’t want to read. At Coleham, we aim to foster a real love for reading and would encourage all children (and grown-ups!) to read what they want to read, so long as it is appropriate for them. I think what we have seen this week shows that our community is doing something right to foster that love of reading!
Lots is also happening next week: Year 5 fashio
n show, Year 4 residential, trips…
Have a lovely weekend!
