Today we have sent a book home with each child to share with their family.

Please bring the book bag on a Monday for your child to choose a new book. Books will only be swapped on a Monday, due to isolating the books for 72 hours before they can leave Pre-School again. Please feel free to write any other books you may have shared at home in the 'Share a Book' Diary too.

Don't worry if your child chooses the same book again, we do encourage them to try a new book, but there are some very popular stories which the children are familiar with and like to take home to tell their family several times.

Many thanks in advance for your co-operation.
