Year 5 – Class 8 & 9 – Marcus Rashford Book Club

Yesterday, Year 5 were lucky enough to be gifted a new book from ‘Magic Breakfast’. Supplied my Marcus Rashford MBE in partnership with Magic Breakfast, each child received a copy of ‘A Dinosaur Ate My Sister’ along with an activity pack.

Marcus Rashford MBE said: “I only started reading at 17, and it completely changed my outlook and mentality. I just wish I was offered the opportunity to really engage with reading more as a child, but books were never a thing we could budget for as a family when we needed to put food on the table. There were times where the escapism of reading could have really helped me. I want this escapism for all children. Not just those that can afford it. We know there are over 380,000 children across the UK today that have never owned a book, children that are in vulnerable environments. That has to change. My books are, and always will be, for every child.”

“Everyone is aware of my experiences with Breakfast Club – it brightened up the start of my day, it stabilised the school day for me, and allowed me to form life-long friendships. I’m really happy to be partnering with Magic Breakfast to get books in the hands – and homes – of children who will most benefit from them.
