To mark Book Day, the Juniors Spanish Department organised a special cross-year activity that brought students together through reading, creativity and shared learning. Year 3 partnered with Year 5 students, while Year 4 joined with Year 6, creating a wonderful opportunity for pupils of different ages to connect and learn from one another.

During the sessions, students explored the legend of Saint George and its connection to Book Day. They then took part in a range of creative activities, including making bookmarks and painting roses, while celebrating the joy of stories and reading together.

A particularly special feature of the activity was the way students shared the reading experience. Older students read to younger pupils, while younger students also had the chance to read aloud in return, helping to build confidence, communication skills and mutual respect.

It was wonderful to see how much both groups enjoyed spending time together. The activity not only celebrated reading, but also strengthened friendships, encouraged collaboration and reflected the caring community spirit that is so important at TEMS
