Welcome to year 3/4 Rowling 

Year 3/4 voted unanimously for our class name to be Rowling at the start of this academic year. As distressing as the recent lockdowns have been for some, it was a joy to hear how may children had developed not only a love for reading but in particular a love for J.K Rowlings Harry Potter books. I have very fond memories of my childhood, reading some of the work by J.K Rowling and to share this passion with my pupils makes our class name more pertinent. 

'J.K Rowling has encouraged many children to read more often and develop their skills, confidence and imagination through books. Twelve publishers passed on her first books because they thought fantasy was old fashioned, but it's that same magic that cast a spell on everyone' ( https://youngjournalistacademy.com jk-rowlings-impact-on-reading, 2019)
