25 Years of World Book Day 

World Book Day has been changing children's lives by encouraging a love of books and reading for 25 years. Reading for pleasure makes an enormous impact on a child's future, whether that's their educational success, well-being or mental health. World Book Day changes lives through a love of books and shared reading.

Archbishop of York Youth Trust - Young Leaders Award (YLA)

Year 1 pupils at Hutton CE Primary School have been taking part in the Archbishop of York 'Young Leaders Award' and have been learning all about what makes a good leader. As part of the programme, they have to help their local community either through action (such as litter picking) or through fund raising. 

When we learnt that the Parish Council was planning to improve Elmhurst Park (the play park just across the road from school) we decided to raise money to help to make the park more inclusive.  I have challenged the children to read 1000 times before the end of the year.   It's a big challenge but if the children all work together and each one does their share, they will be able to do it.

If you would like to support their efforts you can make a donation at: 
 https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/huttonyear1playparkfundraiser?utm_term=3wqYEddmM
 
In week 1, the children read 124 times and are aiming to read over 200 times this week!
