Burnside Reading Club

Mrs Millingham and Mrs Ore are introducing a ‘Burnside Reading Club’ for years 1-3. It will be held

between 8.30am and 8.55am every morning in the library. It will be an opportunity for students to read

with an adult or a year 6 student each morning. This will be invaluable for students to improve their

reading in conjunction with the books that they now enjoy reading at home.

We are now looking for some parent, grandparent volunteers to read with the students. We would love

volunteers for each morning, but if you can only do one day that would be great. Please contact the

office with your availability for this exciting opportunity for our students.
