Free Online Library

For the duration of the school closures, a fantastic online library has become available. It contains over 7000 books on a range of topics for students of all ages and is presented in an easy-to-use format.

Topics range from sports and cars to animals and history- it’s definitely worth taking a look!

Fun features include:

• a ‘read aloud’ function, which allows you to follow the text as the book is read to you. Words are highlighted as the voice reads to make it easier to follow.
• an in-built dictionary, to search for the definitions of new words without having to switch between webpages/tabs
• a daily news feature which releases age-appropriate news items for children

No sign-up is necessary- take a look!

Summer Reading Challenge

This summer the theme for the reading challenge at Hall Green Library is Space Chase.

Why not visit your local library to sign up for it? All you need to do is read and review any 6 library books by September 7^th.  You will get your very own special review sheets and for each review you hand in you receive a space chase goodie & stickers!

Amazingly, if you manage to read 6 books you may be invited to an award celebration where you will be presented with a medal and certificate.

If you are one of the first 150 children to complete the challenge you will also get a fantastic Space Chase kit bag!

Fundraising for our new library

Robin Hood Academy would like to raise money to buy furniture and books for our new library.

We want to create an inviting space that promotes reading for enjoyment. Our new library will create confident, avid readers who will become life-long learners.

We understand that school libraries play a key part in a pupil’s academic achievement across the curriculum and hope that we can raise enough money to reach our school target.

If you would like to make a donation for our new school library, click here for our fundraising page.
