Acorns Book Week

25th October, 2011

Book Heaven in 2011 – that is what Miss Middlemiss called this year’s Book Week in Packwood Acorns. And it has been a packed schedule of book related activities: a visit from a librarian and the mobile library; many guest readers, from Mr Westlake to a four year old; a sponsored read in aid of Readathon which supports seriously ill children throughout the country; a competition to find who can read in the funniest place (winner yet to be announced, but the boy who tucked himself up with a book in one of the baths in Park House must surely be a contender); the Great Acorns Book Swap with donations going to Book Aid International which sends books to schools in rural Africa; an Open Assembly with everyone dressed up as their favourite fictional character, and lots of book writing, reading and making in the classroom.

Book Week is always a highlight of the autumn term, and this one was no exception.
