Churcher’s College Reading Fairy ‘Parent Time’ event a big success

Churcher's College Junior School & Nursery hosted the launch of the ‘Reading Fairy’ programme for its latest ‘Parent Time’ event on the evening of the 22nd of February.

Parents of pre-schoolers were welcomed to the sell-out event by Ffion Robinson, Head of the Junior School & Nursery. This was followed by a talk from Angela Kennedy, owner and class leader for Baby Sensory Haslemere, discussing the importance of reading books and stories from a young age and how it can benefit a child’s learning and development for life.

Angela, a former teacher, engaged the audience for over an hour with research, expertise, interactive exercises, advice and tips. The opportunity to discuss and ask questions was offered over homemade cake and a cup of tea.

Angela Kennedy said: ‘This wonderful school was the perfect setting for our Reading Fairy launch. The parents thoroughly enjoyed the event, not to mention looking around the fabulous nursery and the delicious homemade cake!’

‘The importance of reading and books is a subject close to my heart,’ explained Ffion Robinson, Head of Churcher’s College Junior School and Nursery. ‘Sharing a love of stories and books develops the imagination and enables children to go anywhere and do anything.’
