The hall was buzzing with booky news this afternoon in assembly when I was able to show children loads of new books that I have recently purchased for the library.

I was very pleased to award two new Word Millionaires with their certificates! Well done. Accelerated Reader counts all the words that children read when they quiz and these quickly add up.

The most exciting news of the afternoon was that I have booked a trip on 30 June for 30 pupils to do Ringos at Warmwell. This trip is designed as a reward for children who have really tried hard with reading this year. Word Millionaires get a place, of course, but the other places are up for grabs! Teachers will choose children who have really put in a sustained effort to improve their reading. We will look at children who have regularly completed their reading records, who are quizzing often and passing quizzes above 85%. There is lots of time left before the places are allocated so everyone has the chance to really impress their teacher with their efforts in reading. Good luck everyone!
