Luton schoolchildren create motivational bookmarks for GP surgery

Youngsters at a Luton school have been busy creating motivational bookmarks for healthcare workers.

The Year 2 class of six and seven-year-olds at The Ferrars Academy made the gifts for the healthcare professionals and administrative staff at Priory Garden Surgery, Dunstable.

The children had a lovely time colouring in and designing these bookmarks to promote their love for reading to the community.

A spokesman for the school said: “The hand-crafted bookmarks were received with such excitement and pleasure by the staff at the surgery. They were overwhelmed by the children’s creativity and the school’s generosity for creating a jar of bookmarks to be placed in the surgery’s library to help them with every book they read.

“The children were thrilled to have a visitor from Priory Garden Surgery who gifted them with new science books, gifts and personalised letters for every child.

“A true sense of community and encouraging reading for all!”
