A Love of Reading
Let's get reading and talking!
Through our guided reading and Monthly Book Clubs, we are trying to promote a love of reading but also, a love of reading about other faiths, cultures and experiences that might be different to our own.
We want children to have access to different fiction and non-fiction texts that teach them about the wider world and experiences of other people. We want children to reflect and celebrate everyone’s uniqueness and differing experiences.

Black History Month
This year, all children will be exploring the writing of Floella Benjamin who grew up in Trinidad and moved to London as part of the Windrush Generation.
A Prayer for Black History Month
Compassionate God,
who sent Jesus Christ to deliver us from all manner of injustices and inequalities,
create in us new hearts and enlarged visions,
to see the image of God in every person
irrespective of background, race and ethnicity.
May we be generous in our love of others
as we work towards ending racism and injustice;
creating communities of human flourishing,
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen.
