Dear Parents and Carers,
Welcome to the last newsletter of this school year. This has been another challenging year for our whole community. Again, can I thank you all for your support and friendship. We all look forward to a new school year in September, ready to learn with those amazing Christ the King smiley faces!
Reading during the summer
Bristol Library Service and summer reading
Please follow Book Sorter | Summer Reading Challenge to collect your ‘Scratch and Sniff’ sticker chart for their Wild World Heroes reading activities. These are available at any local library. Libraries are open and back to their previous opening times.
CTK Reading Challenge
We have our own challenge too ! A beautifully illustrated chart by the author Karen George. Children have the sheet in their book bags ready to start. Just note down any books read over the holiday and return to the new teacher in September.
Karen George will also be visiting us in September. Look out for the adaptation of her book, ‘What Happened to you' on Cbeebies in August.
Reading Links
Research shows that children who read for 10 minutes a day during the summer holidays make better progress in school than those who don't read. Here are some websites to give ideas and free resources to keep your children reading through the summer, and make a start back in September easier for them:

Summer Activities
There are lots of brilliant summer activities taking place in the local area this holiday:
Have a great summer everybody.
