As part of an enrichment day to engage pupils at Castle School in reading and listening activities, our children took part in a themed sponsored ‘Ready, Steady, Listen” event in partnership with Usbourne Books.

For different amounts of money raised, it was agreed that Usbourne Books would provide us with a percentage top-up to help replenish our library and replace some of our more ‘well loved’ story books. In total, we raised an incredible £762.25 which qualified us for 60% additional funding, which now means we have £1219.20 to spend on books to develop our library resources!

The children had lots of fun taking part in activities based around their favourite books. Primary pupils enjoyed lots of circus-themed stories and fairy tales while in secondary, classrooms were transformed into a world of witchcraft and wizardry for their magical theme. A huge well done to everyone who took part!
