All in Reading

This annual event enables children from different schools, with a shared love of reading to come together. Children who register interest are provided with a book to read, free of charge, in advance of the day. They then come together for workshops linked to the plot. This is followed by a visit from the author. A shared love of reading and the chance to bounce interpretations of the text around in a friendly environment makes this an event few children forget.
