If you are having to isolate at home, the most important thing that you can continue to do is to read. We’ve a few ideas to help you enjoying books whilst you are unable to visit the library.

Listening to stories is one of the ways that you can do this.

Team Bowsland teachers have set up a Bowsland Green YouTube channel where we will be posting stories for you to listen to. Watch this space!
