Summer Reading Challenge 2024
Thu 04 Jul 2024Summer Reading Challenge 2024
It's that time of year again when we can see how many books we can read and share over the summer break!
The Summer Reading Challenge is on its way. Launching in Kent libraries on Saturday 6 July “Marvellous Makers” will be a celebration of the creative arts, inspiring children to express themselves in creative ways, tap into a world of imagination and storytelling, and of course to read. When they join Marvellous Makers, children aged 4 to 11 will be introduced to brand-new characters for this year, brought to life by the brilliant children’s illustrator, Natelle Quek.
The challenge runs for 9 weeks beginning Saturday 6 July until Saturday 7 September with a variety of free and fun events taking place in libraries across the county.
The Summer Reading Challenge is the UK’s biggest reading for pleasure programme for children aged 4 to 11. Produced by the Reading Agency and delivered annually in partnership with libraries. Across Kent last year, 18,143 participants took part in the Summer Reading Challenge including 2,911 children who joined the library to take part. While it’s a fun free activity for children across the county, it plays an important part in overcoming the summer reading dip and ensuring children are ready for School in September.
Children aged 4 to 11 sign up through their local Kent library and receive a collector’s poster. They are set a reading goal and borrow books of their choice during the summer, collecting special stickers and incentives along the way.
Library staff and volunteers help children to discover new books that suit their interests and reading level and run a programme of free themed activities in libraries. Children who complete the six-book challenge are presented with a certificate and medal.
Children can take part online, too! www.summerreadingchallenge.org.uk
I look forward seeing how well the children get on in September.

COOL MILK
Tue 21 May 2024COOL MILK for under 5s information:
Hello Barming Primary School,
We have been working closely with your supplier to plan your milk deliveries for after the May half-term holidays.
Despite best endeavours, your supplier Milk and More - Parkwood is unable to accommodate a delivery on your first day back or deliver additional milk on a previous delivery day.
This is due to current unavoidable vehicle weight restrictions and capacity of drivers on additional routes. Please be aware that Cool Milk is working hard behind the scenes with your supplier regarding delivery logistics when it comes to future holidays.
Your milk will be delivered on your next scheduled delivery day, which is:
Tuesday 4th June
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued co-operation and apologise for any inconvenience caused. -
