Every few weeks Year 1 visit the library in Kirkby Lonsdale. Each child chooses two books to take home and we enjoy a story. Shirley, the librarian has a brilliant selection of books and even let’s us order special stories.

It was a very cold day but we kept warm by taking parts in lots of races. It was lovely to have lots of parents watching and we all enjoyed our picnic lunch.
