Library opening and Joffre White visit

On Wednesday 14th September, we had our grand school library opening. We invited several special guests from the local community, and children from each class. The library was opened by the author Joffre White and one of the Freemen of Norwich.

Hooray! The library is open

Joffre then spent the rest of the day working in Year Six, where he led some really exciting writing workshops. Marley, in Deer Class, said "He was brilliant to listen to. He made me keen to write a story and got me excited about reading."

Mr Dynan, a Year 4/5 teacher, said "I really enjoyed his assembly. He was full of enthusiasm and really passionate about reading. I would love to read one of his books."

As you can see from the pictures below, the library is already getting lots of use. We're really enjoying reading all the new books that are in there.
