Leyton Stories - bringing children's books alive
Introducing children to authors, illustrators and storytellers.
Providing help to create children's book groups in communities.
Keeping literacy at the top of the children's agenda.
Sharing the joy of reading
On June 16th. 2009, Leyton Stories 3 will deliver yet another author and book event at Newport School, Leyton, East London.
All the year 5 children will have chance to really test out their skills by direct work with an author in their classroom. They will have chance to read some great books, ask challenging questions and get involved in the whole business of writing books.
It's going to be a fantastic day, children already have some great ideas about what they would like to do. We're going to be adding all the work, plans, thoughts on to this web site and Newport Primary School and Newport Children Centre.
