At All Saints, we want children, and their parents and carers to develop a love of reading alone or together. These books are great examples of books to develop children's curiosity and understanding of the world through age-appropriate books. These can be read independently or together and provide lots of opportunities to talk about the stories that are shared.

Black History Month Poetry Recital

Children from Nursery through to Year 6 learnt a poem by a Black British poets off by heart. They performed their poem, with actions, in front of other classes. The children were amazing as they had to be very courageous as they performed in front of an audience. Well done everyone.
