Dear Parents / Carers

Year 3 reading volunteers - thank you to the adults who have been reading with Year 3 this year. Your help is much appreciated. There will be no further afternoon reading sessions for Year 3 this term.
Summer Reading Challenge -
the Summer Reading Challenge has now started at the CSG Community LIbrary for children aged 4 to 11. Children can sign up at the local library to start their Challenge or you can visit summerreadingchallenge.org.uk.
Children set their reading goal (we suggest six books) and record what they have read along the way.. For every book read children can pick up stickers (some are smelly!) as they progress through the Challenge. Children who complete their Challenge are presented with a certificate and a medal. Just go into Chalfont St Giles Community Library or your nearest library to get started. Participants will need to be a member of Buckinghamshire Libraries and you can join in the library. Here is a link the current Bucks library membership form: https://buckinghamshire-gov-uk.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/Library_Membership_Form.pdf
