Lawley Primary School

September 2023 - We are very excited to have just opened our brand new library! We look forward to sharing our stories as classes in this space, recommending new reads to each other, borrowing books to take to class and home, sharing the space with our parents/carers and setting up our new librarian team. Watch this space for more information in the coming weeks!

Year 4 - Damien Harvey

Year 4 children were visiting by author Damien Harvey.  After studying one of his books as part of their English work, they worked with him to write their own stories. They were delighted when Damien chose some of them to publish on his website!

The Children hosted a World Book Day book and cake sale for the whole school. 

The children took part in a book cover selfie competition. Here are our winners. 

At Lawley Primary we foster a love of reading with our pupils. We regularly celebrate World Book Day and have special author and illustrator events. This year our pupils enjoyed dressing up, a book cover selfie competition, and a whole school book and cake sale.

Each of our classes has a well stocked library with a wide range of texts for the pupils. These libraries are regularly updated with new titles and supplemented with new books from the Schools Library Service each term. The pupils have a dedicated time each day in class to read for pleasure.

We continue to invest in our widely stocked reading scheme, including our range of titles specially written to engage boys (Project X).

Our teachers love to read to the pupils, and have a time each day for this in class. We also share stories online via Showbie, some examples of which can be found in the videos on this page.

Our pupils use Showbie as an online reading diary to develop a dialogue with their teacher about their reading. They share their reading with a variety of messages, photos and videos. Our parents love to contribute to this too.
