School Council Update School Library

20th Jun 2016
School Council Update School Library

Today our School Councillors received £967 of new books. In April the pupils ran a book fair and earned reward vouchers based on the amount of sales. Combined with the previous years book fair rewards, which were saved, the pupils were able to accumulate an enormous amount of rewards for a school of our size.

The Councillors met and worked very well together in selecting the books from the catalogue that would cater for all their peers. They then forwarded their order to Mr Monaghan a fortnight ago and were thrilled to unpack their orders this afternoon. The Councillors decided it was best to order packs of books by their favourite authors. In doing so they were getting value for money and getting a better range of books. Their authors included, David Walliams, Enid Blyton, C.S. Lewis, Michael Morpurgo, Jill Tomlinson and Tom Gates to name a few.

Their next task will be to incorporate these new books into the library, making sure they are properly labelled and stored correctly for next year. A big thank you to the School Council for their time and effort. Enjoy the new books everybody!
