‘Booking’ the trend!

Daniel and Victoria both choose Roald Dahl books to read to the children at Ditton High School — Daniel and Victoria both read Roald Dahl books to the children at Ditton High School

In a world where we are presented with an increasing variety of entertainment media, including the astounding possibilities of the internet and live streaming, Cronton Sixth Form College students supported a local Halton primary school in reaffirming reading at the heart of its culture.
AS English students Daniel Sinnott-Davies and Victoria Waterhouse both previously from Wade Deacon High School, accompanied by English Lecturer Richard Turner, joined Ditton Primary School in their ‘Reading Week’ celebrations on Monday the 4^th of March. They were in the company of a variety of prestigious guests including delegates from Wade Deacon High School and Liverpool based universities.
During the festivities Ditton Primary’s new library – The Wow Zone – was officially declared open by the Mayor and Mayoress of Halton (Councillors Tom and Angela McInerney). The unique name was the result of a school competition and the combination of two winning name entries – ‘World of Wonder’ and ‘World of Words’.
Daniel read an extract from Roald Dahl’s ‘Danny The Champion of the World’ to Miss Emanuel’s Year 4 class, while Victoria opted to read ‘James and the Giant Peach’ (also by Roald Dahl) to Mrs Adamson’s Year 3 class. The children’s manners and enthusiasm were a credit to the school, and a good time was had by both the children and delegates alike.
