After the magical cosiness of the Christmas season in our library, we wanted to focus on welcoming the New Year in style.  The post box for letters to Father Christmas has been put away for now and is replaced with a box to post wishes for 2026.  We will be creating a display of these to help us reflect positively on the possibilities of the year ahead. 

This year we are also exploring other cultures and beliefs by decorating the library to celebrate the Chinese New Year [17.02.26 – 03.04.26].  Our students are really enjoying finding out all about this festival as well as the animal year they were born into.  This year it is the Year of the Horse, and for the first time in 60 years, it’s a Fire Horse year - the last one was in 1966, maybe a positive sign for the World Cup this year!
