STAR Reading Group

This is a group for pupils who like to delve a little deeper into books and reading in a relaxed way. It meets once a month usually on the first Thursday of the month 3.45 - 4.45 after school to discuss books; do quizzes; search author websites; hear from authors etc.

There will also be the unique opportunity to read and review books due to be published in the forthcoming months.

Mrs Ormshaw, Mr Bean and some members of the Harrogate Children's Bookgroup lead this.

If you would like to join please pick up an application letter from the Library.

Each meeting starts with refreshments from 3.35 and finishes at 4.45. Dates for the meeting this term:

Thursday 2nd October

Thursday 6th November

Thursday 4th December
