As we head into the half term holidays, we would like to let schools in Derby know about a variety of opportunities for schools.
Book Appeal
So far we have collected 5000 books! And our Book Appeal is back in November, inviting the residents of Derby to donate Pre-loved books suitable for primary age children. We would like to offer these books to nurseries, schools, childminders and other organisations in Derby City who are well placed to support families and children in need. Please complete the Book Appeal application form here. Please be aware that successful settings will need to collect books from The University of Derby, Kedleston Road Campus on Tuesday 3rd December.
Meet The Author - JP Rose
We invite Y5/6 children to live stream our KS3 Meet the Author event with JP Rose on Thursday 7th November at 12.15pm. Please complete the online form if you would like to join us on Teams. This is a free event.
Autumn Edition 14-19 November
Please help support the work that we do, by spreading the word to your families. We have invited Naomi Jones and Rebecca Ashdown to Derby, to celebrate their win of the Derby Children’s Picture Book Award 2024 with ‘Thunderboots’. It would be great to have lots of children there for a really wonderful event. Tickets available here.
