Year 6 Book Club Visit – July 2024

At the beginning of July, our dedicated members of the Year 6 Book Club visited P & G Wells Bookstore.  They were treated to a tour of the book shop, even viewing the binding room and the machinery that for many years bound the books purchased!  They then had the opportunity to look through some proofs, browse the shelves, write recommendation cards and even devour some books.

 

Our avid readers picked a book each as new additions to our school library - ranging from the recent children’s laureate winner, Frank Cottrell-Boyce to the ever popular Skandar series.  Our children were beautifully behaved, engaged and in the words of P & G Wells staff, “delightfully keen.”  Here are some quotes from the children about the visit:

 

“It was amazing getting to look behind the scenes and learn about how books were bound versus how things are done today.” “I enjoyed looking at all the books and getting the chance to pick some out for the library.”  Well done to everyone involved!
