Persimmon reveals the full story

Persimmon Homes Anglia's Deben Heath development in Rendlesham has recently played host to a class of five to eight year old school children and their favourite books, in support of an initiative run by Rendlesham Primary School, which aims to keep youngsters reading.

The development's luxury De Havilland showhome was the chosen venue for the children to take part in Story Week, which ran from 6th to 10th October and encouraged children and adults to read and share their favourite stories.

The 12 pupils attended the event at Deben Heath and brought along their favourite books to read aloud to each other. Persimmon's very own sales adviser, Sandra Fox, also volunteered to take part in the storytelling exercise.

Jon Gibbs, sales director from Persimmon Homes Anglia, stated: "We were delighted to be part of Rendlesham Primary School's Story Week which is a light hearted initiative with an important message behind it and that's why we wanted to become involved this year."

Sales adviser Sandra added: "We fully acknowledge the importance of encouraging youngsters to pick up a book and by inviting them over to our showhome for a dedicated period of time we have hopefully gone some way towards supporting them and the school."

Sarah Gallagher, head teacher at Rendlesham Primary School said: "It was great for the children to be able to read aloud their favourite stories in a new environment."
