We’ve loved the sessions; thank you!

What a fantastic week it has been @SitwellSchool working with their wonderful year 3’s! We have visited each class with our Ancient Egyptian workshop. The children have loved looking at the artefacts and learning how to mummify their classmates.

Such lovely feedback from one of our subscribing schools! Our in-school sessions are included in your subscription. So why not get booked in for the next academic year? Let us bring your topics to life! 📚🩵

What a wonderful day it has been! Please do get in touch with us if you would like any more information. We would love to come to your school, for free, to speak about all we have to offer. #RotherhamSchools #RotherhamLovesReading

RothSLS are busy choosing your new stock. Laura's favourite topic picked so far is for @MaltbyManor Foundation/Reception. Loving your choices this term 🥰 We hope it inspires a #LoveOfReading in your youngest classes!

What a busy few weeks we have had! Our WWII session has proven very popular this term! 11 sessions in total so far. We have had a fantastic time sharing knowledge at so many of our schools. The children have enjoyed having a hands-on experience and exploring the artefacts.

Make history come alive in your classroom! 🏺📚 Discover hands-on resources and activities that spark curiosity and bring the past to life for your students. sls-uk.org/hands-on-histo…

Every school & every community needs a library & a librarian, to help every child find the books that will make them readers. Because those are the books that will change their lives - and maybe even save their lives! #SaveLibraries

Year 6 has had a fantastic session delivered by @RothSchoolsLib this week all about WW2. The children were able to see and handle lots of different artefacts and investigate ration books, newspaper snippets and children’s toys. We’ve loved it!

@SitwellSchool Thank you for having us! We had a wonderful time with your lovely year 6's.

Ha-Ha-Happy Christmas from all the team at Rotherham SLS! See you in the New Year.
