We continue to promote literacy at KWS. Students this half term have been taking part in Read Aloud, various year group reading challenges, and not to mention literacy week. We have just appointed a library assistant and she is very excited to get started in helping to manage and develop our school library. We are hopeful we will have many more library events and competitions in the spring term.

Reading is still very much a priority for our staff and students. So, we thought it would be fitting to use advent to get our school community reading in the lead up to the winter break.

We are soon to launch our ’12 Days of Reading’ virtual advent calendar which we hope will encourage students to read a variety of Christmas and Winter inspired texts. From comic books to newspaper articles to poetry, there is something for our students to get stuck into each morning as we count down.
