Reading Ambassadors:

We are thrilled to announce Mansel Park's new Reading Ambassadors for 2024-2025.

They are responsible for promoting reading for pleasure amongst their peers and across the school!

This week, our Reading Ambassadors worked with Miss Plazas to create a display to celebrate the new children's laureate, Frank Cottrell Boyce. We have ordered several copies of his books for the library so that all pupils can enjoy his work! Our Reading Ambassadors discussed their new display and Frank Cottrell Boyce's work in assembly, before launching Mansel Park's 'Blue Peter Book Club'!

Our Reading Ambassadors will be running a lunchtime book club for pupils, using the books promoted on CBBC's Blue Peter, reading to our younger pupils and running linked activities.

Don't forget, all pupils can apply to wear a Blue Peter Book Club badge to wear in school! You can find out more information HERE:

Our team of pupil librarians will be visiting both Southampton Central Library and October Books in the near future, to receive training from librarians and booksellers, to support them in their new role! They will also be meeting other pupil Reading Ambassadors from across the partnership to talk all things books and reading! Watch this space for more news!

Congratulations to our new Reading Ambassadors:

Year 4:  Jack, Darlia, Mary-Jane and Alex C.         

Year 5: Sophie, Skylar, JamieLee and Leo F.
