Pop Up Book Hut: January 2020

Here at Lionel we are very excited about the arrival of our Pop-Up Book Hut from the London Children’s Book Project, a charity whose ambition is to put books into every home and to engage children and young people in choosing the books that appeal to them.

Today, a beautiful little green hut was delivered to school along with a donation of over 1000 new or ‘gently used’ books. Over the next few weeks, children will be invited to visit the hut with their teachers and their parents and carers (if you are able to do so) to choose their very own book. The book is for your child to keep, read and love.

Should your child finish their book before the end of this half term and wish to exchange it, they are welcome to do so. The hut will open at various points during the school day for your child to exchange.

This is a wonderful opportunity for all the children at Lionel to experience the excitement of choosing their own book and we would like to invite you to share this with them, if possible. Attached to this letter (and to be displayed on the hut) is a timetable showing mornings when each class will be able to visit the hut along with their parents/carers to choose a book. These sessions will run from 9.00am to 9.30am.

As we are such a big school, some classes will have already visited the hut before going with you, but we know that the children will still appreciate being able to show you the hut. They may use this opportunity to exchange their book, if they want to.

We hope that you and your children will share our excitement in this fantastic opportunity and we look forward to welcoming you to our Hut!

Happy 2020 and happy reading!

Dear Lionel Primary School

On behalf of The Trustees of Hounslow Community FoodBox I would like to thank all the pupils, staff and parents of Lionel Primary School for the fantastic donation of food, which you had collected and we received this week.

This will be gratefully received by the needy in our community. Without your help and that of like-minded people we would not be able to offer support to those in our community who through an unfortunate set of circumstances find it impossible to provide for themselves and their close family.

Many thanks.

Colin Winchester
