Year 4 and 5 reading buddies were very excited this week as they got to go and visit their Year 10 reading buddy at Thomas Alleyne school. Once they arrived, they were shown to the school library where they enjoyed catching up with their buddy and sharing how successful they had been at meeting their reading target that they set in February.

A little while later, they got the opportunity to browse the library shelves and discuss their favourite books whilst picking up some tips from their buddys. To finish the session, children set themselves some aspirational targets to try and meet with their reading by the time the next reading session takes place in June.

The children left feeling very motivated. "I enjoyed meeting my reading buddy again and I loved going to Thomas Alleyne. I am going to try hard to meet my target."
