Pupils in year 5 visited Manor Park Library earlier today, where they were welcomed by the library staff and excited to learn about this year's Summer Reading Challenge.

The theme for 2026 is "Read to the Beat", which celebrates the joy of reading through music, rhythm and creativity. The children discovered that by reading six books or more over the summer, they can earn exciting rewards including stickers, bookmarks and medals. The children were eager to explore books across genres and even spent some time reading to get a flavour of the books on offer!
