In our final session at St. Marys we had planned into finish putting up our display ready for when the children arrived. On arrival we gathered the equipment we needed to finish putting up the display from the Art cupboard and Isaacs room. For that first hour and a quarter we finalised our display board and cleared the library ready for the children on their break.
During the break we had the children come up, some of the children asked us to read with them and some children asked us to help choose books for them to read.
After the break we had a group of year 3/4s come up in which their teacher had asked us to read with specific children that needed a little bit of extra help. We spent time talking with the three children and asking them why they chose that certain book and what they enjoyed about it.
After our first session we were asked by Isaac if we could colour code some books the school had got donated to them. We then had to sort them into the sections of the library they belong in and put them in alphabetical order. This became interesting for the children as they were able to read all new books that were put into the library.
After we had sorted this, at 11:30 we had our final reading session with the year 5/6s in which they couldn’t stop talking about their new display board. In our last slot we were able to take three more children and read with them, they had discussions with us as to why they liked the book they were reading and what they hoped the ending will be like. Just before the class left the library we stopped Isaac to say thank you for allowing us to come in and thank you to the children who helped have input into the board. Isaac had stated to us that one of the pathways on our board linked to their new literacy topic of Narnia.
