CHILDREN at Sampford Arundel Primary School started the new term with a varied and exciting animal-themed Book Week.

They welcomed storytellers Golden Sun and Silver Moon – better known as Anne Harvey and Annie Fisher from the Somerset Literacy Network - into school to tell Native American animal tales and went to the village hall to see Rod Burnett’s fantastic Storybox Theatre production of 3 Pigs, before dressing up as animal characters from story books to finish a busy week.

As well as these events there were many opportunities for listening to stories, including favourite books shared by parents and other adults.
