Reading Ambassador Visits

As part of the National Year of Reading, our Reading Ambassadors recently visited three local nurseries to share their love of books with younger children. The visits provided a wonderful opportunity for our ambassadors to help inspire the next generation of readers and demonstrate how enjoyable reading can be.

This experience was also one of our 30 Ways to Connect initiatives, specifically 'Make meaningful connections beyond the school'. By building relationships with children and staff in our local community, the ambassadors demonstrated the positive impact that our pupils can have beyond the school gates.

The ambassadors were fantastic role models throughout the visits. They showed great confidence when reading aloud, bringing stories to life through their expression, enthusiasm, and engaging storytelling. It was wonderful to see how quickly they captured the children's attention and encouraged them to join in, answer questions, and talk about the stories they had heard.

The younger children thoroughly enjoyed the experience and were captivated by the stories shared. Nursery staff were incredibly complimentary about our ambassadors, praising their confidence, maturity, enthusiasm, and ability to engage the children so effectively. The positive feedback was a testament to the preparation and dedication shown by our pupils.

Our Reading Ambassadors should be incredibly proud of the maturity, confidence, and kindness they displayed. They represented the school brilliantly while helping to foster a lifelong love of reading in the younger generation and promoting the importance of reading as part of the National Year of Reading.
