Premier Reading League - We Are Over Half Way Through!

There are just four more weeks remaining until the end of this term's Premier Reading League. Pupils from across KS2 have been working extremely hard to earn as many points as possible for their teams.

Currently in lead with 179 points is Unicorn Club! Team members, Emily Claydon, Diya Patel, Nikola Urban, Libby Northwood, Oliwia Bartnik and Courtney Simpson have been reading at every opportunity to earn extra points. Their team mascot is Mrs Charlesworth, who has been encouraging them to read at home and log their points in the library.

In a close second is The Reading Champs with 175 points. The team is made up of year three pupils, James Olatunji, Nina Joshi, Amandeep Ubhi, Dora Lewis, Alice Adedipe and Elliot Cottam, they are led by team mascot, Mrs Chance.

It is important to bring your reading record along with you to the library when you change your books, from here your points can be collected for your group.

Not in lead? Not a problem!

Earning points could not be easier! One point is awarded for each book, or for every 100 pages read. Three points is rewarded for writing a book review (why not complete the ones in the front of your reading record?!) and six points will be given for completing a review using MyBookBlog - if you're not sure how, ask you teacher or visit the library.

Good luck to all those currently taking part!

Harry Potter Course - Gryffindor Round

Our Harry Potter Course members recently took part in the first of six quizzes to be held at Mead across the year. They joined the members at Mead and were put into four teams:

Gryffindor: Timi-David, Ramone and Eryia

Hufflepuff: Amelia, Sonia and Simran

Ravenclaw: Naleli and Aaliyah

Slytherin: Fayo and Tyler

In this round - The Gryffindor Round - they were competing for a Gryffindor House badge.

The afternoon was broken down into five mini quizzes. They were tested on their ability to complete 3 puzzles in less than 6 minutes; reorganise the names of popular characters and match them to their pictures; answer questions based on the first Harry Potter film; order scenes from the film; and match Harry Potter words to the correct meanings.

For each mini round, the groups could earn points; the quicker they completed the tasks, and the more questions they answered correctly, the more points they received. At the end of the quiz all the points were collected and counted - and the scores were...

	Gryffindor	Ravenclaw	Slytherin	Hufflepuff
Character Names	19	18	14	17
Character Puzzles	10	10	8	15
Definitions	37	33	35	30
Film 1 Quiz	31	40	36	31
Scene Ordering	19	26	11	26
Total Points:	116	127	104	119

Naleli and Aaliyah were the winners, along with their Mead team. They received the first of five badges to be won! Well done to all the pupils who took part. The next Harry Potter afternoon will take place on Thursday 7th December.
