Mrs. Bale is thinking about setting up a lunchtime ‘book swap shop’, one day a week. Children can bring in up to 3 books at a time, either to lend for 3 weeks or to give as a permanent swap. This could be an opportunity for you to share books that you have particularly enjoyed, and have a chance to try books that you might not want to buy.
What do you think? Do you like the idea? Please let Mrs. Bale know, via the blog or in person.
If you could make up your own charity, what would it be for and what would you do with the money you got? Maybe think about: Facilities, equipment and more.
GET THINKING and comment below with your ideas.

What a week! After a fun day at snowy school yesterday, the weather has struck again and we are closed again.
Thank you Mrs Reidy for these wonderful photos. Whic animals do you think made those tracks? Comment below if you think you know!
Yes – St Mark’s is closed for a second day due to the snowy weather. Why don’t you let us know on the blog what you get up to? You could bring in some snowy pictures when we get back to school to put on the blog. Have you been on any interesting websites during the day? Above all, Have a happy and safe day.
