Dear Parents and Carers
Today’s update is about some extension learning resources that you might like to recommend to, or explore with your children.
The Hay Festival of Literature and the Arts starts on 18 May with their children’s programme. (The adult festival follows the week after). There are lots of popular authors discussing their books; the children’s programme is on the link below and all events are free. The English Department will be making some use of this in next week’s lessons:

The following articles which support and extend pupils’ reading are all available to them via the CATalogue. Again, you might like to discuss these with them – or enjoy yourselves:

I hope you’re keeping well, and making the most of the relaxation of the guidelines on going outside. All good wishes, and take care of yourselves,
