The children have all been fitted with trainers, which they will be allowed to keep at the end of the year. READING CHALLENGE Many of our families took part in the Summer Reading Challenge over the holidays, which encouraged children to keep reading while away from school. Our reading challenges have been extremely successful and we are really looking forward to starting them again this year with the Autumn Reading Challenge.
