Class 2 have been busy becoming library experts!

We have been learning all about what a library is, how it works and why it is such an important place for learning and enjoyment. The young people explored the features of our school library and discussed how it compares to the library in town. They noticed differences in size, layout and the types of books available, while also recognising the shared purpose of both spaces — to inspire a love of reading.

During our sessions, the young people have had the opportunity to explore the shelves independently, learning how books are organised and practising how to choose texts that interest them. They have shown great curiosity, taking time to browse different genres and discover new authors.

A highlight of our learning has been practising our reading skills. The young people have enjoyed spending time with their own chosen books, building confidence and fluency. Some even took on the role of storyteller, reading aloud to a small group just like real librarians at story time!

It was wonderful to see them using clear voices, expression and enthusiasm to bring their stories to life.

Through these activities, Class 2 have not only developed their understanding of how libraries work, but have also strengthened their independence, communication skills and love of reading.

We are so proud of our library experts — we can’t wait to see what books they discover next!
