Half Term Reading

 
Have you made a list of the books you want to read this half term?
 
If not then this is what you need to do:
  • Pop into the FLC and have a look at the new books that have arrived.
  • Plan a trip to your local library.  Central Library in Croydon is open all week and has lots of fantastic books to borrow.
  • Talk to your friends and see what they have read.  Maybe they will be able to suggest something new.
 
 
Make sure you let me know after half term any fantastic books that you have found and read.
 
Enjoy and have a great week off
