The Manor Preparatory School

Reminders: w/c Monday 2 December 2019 (Week B)

Shared Reading Children’s Laureate, Cressida Cowell, author and illustrator of the ‘How to Train

your Dragon’ books, is encouraging children across the country to read for the

joy of it. She is convinced that books bring out in children the three powers of

intelligence, creativity and empathy. Excitement about the magic of reading was

clearly in evidence on our Shared Reading morning when classes across the

age groups paired up to read together and to share their favourite books. Fact

and fiction, action, poetry and well-loved stories were all represented as the chil-

dren visited new classrooms and met up with friends new and old!
