The children were delighted to receive a copy of a fantastic fantasy novel by the award-winning author **Katherine Rundell**, providing them with the perfect opportunity to immerse themselves in a captivating new story and develop their love of reading. This special gift is particularly fitting as we continue to celebrate our **Year of Reading**, encouraging pupils to discover new authors, broaden their imaginations and experience the joy that books can bring. Katherine Rundell is renowned for her engaging storytelling, and we are sure the children will enjoy embarking on this exciting literary adventure. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to The Queen’s Reading Room and the National Literacy Trust for this generous contribution. We look forward to hearing what our Year 6 pupils think of their new book and seeing their enthusiasm for reading continue to grow. Happy reading, Year 6!
