Summer Reading Challenge 2016

This year's Summer Reading challenge is based around the BFG by Roald Dahl. The summer challenges have been very successful over the last few years in promoting reading and enjoyment of books. We would encourage all children to take part by looking at the leaflet we're sending home with children or heading to the website by following this link!
