Summer Reading Challenges 2021!

 Hopefully you have had the chance to sign up to the national reading challenge at your local libraries. This year's theme is 'Wild World Heroes', it aims to encourage us to look after our planet and the animals we share it with.

By now you should have received a school summer challenge/tracker and a leaflet about this year's Get Caught Reading Challenge. Here's a little extra information for you all...

Summer Challenge Trackers

Our trackers are bursting with ideas and ways of keeping you reading during our break away from school. There are extra tasks like, redesigning a front cover for your favourite book, creating a quiz based on a story you have read, and researching an author - just to name a few! The challenge sheet also features a bucket list - how many will you tick off?

Make sure you hand your completed trackers in when you return to school in September for a special certificate!

Get Caught Reading!

Like previous years we would love to see you reading during the summer break, whether it be at home or far away. Pictures can be sent in via our Facebook and Instagram pages. A library Instagram page has been set up for you to view all photos so please head over there to give us a follow.

We will choose one winner from each key stage and one runner-up. These lucky few will be rewarded with National Book Tokens. All entries need to be in by Friday 10th September. Winners will be announced on Friday 17th September 2021. 


Facebook Questions

We will share a reading-themed question with you every Friday during the holidays over on our Facebook page. Simply leave your answers in the comments section and one person (with the correct answer) will be chosen at random to win a goodie bag of book treats! The lucky winners will be announced on Mondays. Prizes will be sent home during the first week back in September.

We think that will keep you busy this summer! Make sure you enjoy the outdoors and make lots of memories with your families and friends!
