2026 - National Year of Reading

Why not visit your local library this week?
Here are some reasons we love libraries!

1. Libraries have big sections aimed specifically for children
2. They also offer other local events and activities, e.g. stories and songs, Lego club!
3. They are warm spaces to get out the house but escape from the cold!

`Thank you to Jessie who has raised the awareness of stammering whilst being on the tv program; Traitors. Do you know what stammering is?

Stammering is a variation in someone’s speech. Stammering may come and go and increase and decrease at different times and in different speaking situations. People who stammer may experience a loss of control, a feeling of being stuck and an inability to move forward in their talking. The listener hears this as:
• a repetition of a sound, syllable, word or phrase (e.g. “I-I-I-I want to go”)
• a prolongation or stretch of a sound, usually at the start of a word (e.g. I wwwwwwant to go”)
• the person being stuck on a sound when speech is tense and effortful (e.g. I want to g……….o.”)`

• Give someone a hug or a high 5!
• Let a friend pick a game to play.
• Draw a picture for someone.
• Pick an old toy or a book to donate to a charity or preschool.
• Make someone smile, or smile at someone!
• Call someone and ask about their day
• Pick 3 pieces of clothing to donate to charity.

Winnie The Pooh Day
It’s Winnie the Pooh day today!
Each year the 18th of January is National Winnie the Pooh Day in the United Kingdom - a day that celebrates the bear and the author of the brilliant Winnie the Pooh stories, A. A. Milne.

If you are signed up to your local library why not pop in and pick up a Winnie the Pooh book to share with your child. Or if you aren’t yet signed up, use it as an opportunity to get signed up for a library card!
