Dictionaries 4 Life
For some years now the three Rotary Clubs in King’s Lynn have donated copies of the excellent Usborne Illustrated Dictionaries to children in local primary schools. The Rotary Club of King’s Lynn normally provides some 300 of the dictionaries to Year 5 children. When the scheme started some ten years ago they were given to children in Year 6 but because they are so useful the teachers suggested Year 5 would be better as the children would have them for two years before they transferred to secondary schools. Recently dictionaries were presented to children at North Wootton Primary Academy by Michael Pellizzaro and Pip Rippengill on behalf of the Rotary Club.
