Our year 5 Reading Champion presented at the launch of the 10 x 10 initiative at Hackney Town Hall this week. She spoke about her love of the library and how it has inspired her to become an avid reader herself. We are so proud of her, especially as she spoke in front of the Mayor and Deputy Mayor of Hackney! Attached is a link to the 10 x 10 web page which includes PDFs of the 10 x 10 Map and Directory – come and take part in all these fun activities! https://education.hackney.gov.uk/content/10×10-programme
