Counsellor David Mellen brings his Big Reading Challenge to Seely.

28 February 2019 (by admin)

Cllr David Mellen came to school just before half term to read to some of our children as part of his "Big Reading Challenge" (see attached picture with some of our children who took part).

Cllr Mellen has taken on a challenge to raise funds for the Imagination Library – an amazing scheme which delivers a free book every month to children between the ages of 0 and 5 years old. 


The challenge is to read a storybook to at least 5,000 children – all in 50 days from 28 January to 18 March 2019. He will be reading to school classes and assemblies, nursery groups and library groups, children’s centres and especially children in hospital.

Your sponsorship can make a real difference .

The Imagination Library helps parents and children to enjoy exploring books together – looking at the pictures, talking about the stories and just having fun. By getting these books our children are more likely to be ready to start school when they turn five - and that gives them a real head start in life.

Any donations towards this cause would be most appreciated.
Thank you
