“A friendly, creative, environment for learning together”
At Stannington Infant School we are all passionate about reading. We love to read books that take us on amazing journeys to places we have never been before. We love books that make us laugh out loud, gasp in surprise and even bring a tear to our eye.
It is important to understand the books we are reading so we have Stannington’s Reading Friends to help us.
Our friends help us to ask questions, make predictions and gather information about the books we are reading.
You can meet Stannington’s Reading Friends in the hall, in the library and in our classrooms.
