We welcomed Mrs Heaton from Whitstone who launched the National School’s Reading Challenge. This year is the National Year of reading! Children in Year 2-Year 6 will bring home a bookmark to keep track of the books they read between now and the Summer holidays. Once they have read a book, they can write the name inside one of the books on their bookmark. There are awards for reading milestones: the first being 7 books. Once children have read 7 books, bring their bookmark to Mrs Phillips. Bonus books can be awarded for visiting Shepton Library for a stamp as well as sharing with their class who their reading companion is.
