Readathon
May, 2013 - £1,000 worth of new books arrived for our school library. The money came from a readathon week and money from AMSA (Alston Moor School Association).

The children from Flinty Fell helped to unpack them. The children then all came down in class groups to look at the new books before they went into the main library.
