Take it as read

The children of St John’s C of E Primary School, Crossens, were lucky enough to welcome a real-life author/illustrator team into their school for the grand opening of their brand new library.

Peter Lynas and Charlie Roberts, who wrote and illustrated ‘Madeleine Goes to the Moon’ delivered a book reading before they officially opened the library.

Mr Phil Thomson, headteacher at the school, said: “It is a fantastic opportunity for children to increase their love of reading for pleasure.

“Children will now be able to borrow from a range of fiction and non-fiction books.

“A huge thank you goes to our English subject leader, Michelle Cross who, together with a team of volunteers, has created a space in school where children can get lost in a book and then have it stamped out by one of our Year 6 librarians to enjoy further, at home with their family!”
