National Year of Reading
At Hatton Hill, we're celebrating the National Year of Reading with something special happening every month.
If you're into it, read into it...
Everyone knows that reading expands worlds, sharpens minds, and fuels creativity. It is time for the nation to Go All In!
January: Whole School Storytime
For millennia, human-beings have shared stories. It is an ancient and powerful form of communication which helps us connect to each other through shared experiences. Sitting in the hall together as a school family, listening to a story, is a very special time indeed.
Look what we have read and experienced so far!
February: The First Book Week of 2026!
A strange creature in a jar with the label 'failed' stuck on it appeared in our classrooms, alongside a book called The Barnabus Project! Our teachers would not let us read the book (very unusual) so our curiosity grew and grew and GREW! At last, during Book Week, the book was opened and the story read. We loved it! Have a look at some of our excellent work.
You may enjoy reading more books by the Fan Brothers - they are quirky and original, with inspirational messages.
The year ahead...
Below is our plan for this special year. Get ready - there's more book fun to come!
