A Special Gift to Celebrate the National Year of Reading

To celebrate the National Year of Reading, our Year 6 pupils were delighted to receive a very special gift from Her Majesty The Queen, who is herself a passionate advocate for literacy and a keen lover of books.

Through this initiative, Her Majesty hopes to create a shared national reading moment, bringing children together through the experience of reading the same book at the same time. It also aims to inspire others to champion literacy and nurture a lifelong love of reading.

The book, Impossible Creatures by Katherine Rundell, is intriguingly described -: “There’s a place where all the wildest stories began…” and promises to transport our pupils into a world filled with imagination, excitement and adventure. This special gift has been chosen to inspire a love of reading, spark curiosity and encourage children to lose themselves in another world through the magic of storytelling.

Our pupils are already looking forward to discovering more about the fascinating characters and following their adventures as they delve further into this captivating story and its wider series.

We hope this wonderful gift will spark a lasting enthusiasm for reading and inspire many more literary adventures for all Year 6 pupils across the country!
