It was a pleasure to take Year 3 children to Buntingford Library this week. The children learnt about how the library works, which provided an insight to the various sections/genres of books within the library. The Librarians read books to the children based on the current class topic of Rivers. Children were very much engaged and enjoyed the visit.
