Marilyn Brocklehurst from the Norfolk Children's Book Centre - Presentation to Parents "Creating Readers for Life"

We are very lucky to have secured a presentation at Kents Hill by Marilyn Brocklehurst from the Norfolk Children’s Book Centre. Marilyn is a nationally recognised authority on children’s literature and the teaching, and more importantly the enjoyment of reading. Her book centre is used by schools all over the country as a source of books, and she is particularly skilled in helping schools to select quality books when setting up new libraries. Marilyn herself travels all over the UK talking to teachers, advisers about the joy of reading, and how to pass it on to children. As a school we continue to be committed to reading, as something to be enjoyed as well as something to be learnt and developed.

The presentation will start at 7pm and will last for about an hour. It will be followed by wine and nibbles and an opportunity to browse and purchase from a selection of high-quality books which are recommended to enjoy with your children. We hope that you will come along and support us and join us for what promises to be an enjoyable and thought provoking evening.

We will of course be sending full details out in book bags to all parents in the Autumn term, and will publicise the event in our forthcoming newsletters.
