This week, Sparrows Class enjoyed their first visit of the year to the local library. As it was the children’s first visit together, the librarian spent time explaining how the library is organised and introducing the different sections.
The children learned how books are grouped and explored different strategies for finding books that matched their interests or helped them research particular topics. They then had the opportunity to browse the shelves independently, discovering a wonderful range of fiction and non-fiction books.
As part of the visit, the children also took part in a special Christmas card activity. They created thoughtful cards which will be distributed alongside library books to members of the community who are unable to visit the library during the festive season. This was a lovely opportunity for the children to think about kindness, empathy and how even a small gesture can make a big difference to someone’s day.
The visit was a fantastic way to encourage a love of reading while also helping the children think about the importance of caring for others. Through their learning and acts of kindness, the children truly demonstrated our school vision to Love, Learn, Shine. 🌟❤️📚
