Our Reading For Pleasure Spine

Each class has a set of age-appropriate reading for pleasure books: texts that all children should experience during their time at Ward End Primary School. Texts are selected to ensure progressive, high-quality experiences for all children that promote reading for pleasure. These books are intended to be read and shared during library sessions, book talk sessions and read independently for pleasure. Choice of titles include ‘hi-lo’ (high interest, low threat) books, diverse themes, backgrounds and cultures and a combination of fiction, non-fiction and poetry.

Our Reading Event – With Serena Patel

We are thrilled to share that our recent author visit with Serena Patel, the acclaimed writer of the Anisha, Accidental Detective series, was a fantastic success!
On Friday 23rd May, pupils in Years 3 and 4 had the exciting opportunity to meet Serena Patel and hear all about her brand-new book, Pia’s Pet Club. The children were captivated by her stories, inspired by her journey as an author, and thoroughly enjoyed the book signing session that followed.
We’ve attached some lovely photos from the event so you can share in the joy and excitement of the day. It was a truly memorable experience for our young readers!
Thank you for your continued support in helping us foster a love of reading in our school community.
