Over the last two Mondays,  the Reception classes have been for some afternoons visit to the library. On arriving at the library we discovered that it had been opened just for us! The children were so excited that they had the whole library to themselves.

We met the friendly librarian, Kathy, who read lots of fun stories to the children! She read this really funny story to us called, ‘Yikes Stinkisaurs’. The children were able to join in with this story as it was about a smelly dinosaur who didn’t like to wash, and shouted “Yikes Stinkisaurus’ every time they saw it.

After story time the children were able to spend some time exploring the library and selecting books to look at independently. It was lovely to explore the library, and the children learnt all about what type of books they could find in there. They also learnt that there are 10 libraries across Havering, that library members can borrow books from.

Here are some pictures of the children enjoying their time in the library.

Thank you so much to the parent helpers.
