Beast Quest and Rainbow Magic - Reading Groups Started, Free Books and Prizes Up For Grabs!

 

Before the holiday, pupils in Key Stage two signed up to take part in the new reading adventures provided by the National Literacy Trust. The children were asked to organise themselves into groups of no more than eight pupils. The aim of the challenge is to read the complete series of either Beast Quest series one or Rainbow Magic's first series.

 

 

  We were extremely pleased to receive 30 sets of Beast Quest and Rainbow Magic books from The National Literacy Trust. This kind donation has helped to open the reading challenge to more groups of pupils across key stage one and two. The groups ahve now received their reading packs which contain the first book from their chosen series, along with a reading log/map for everyone and membership cards. Each group can take their reading packs out at lunch to share the stories with their friends.

 

The challenge will end on 27 June 2014. Each child who reads their way to the end of their epic journey will receive a certificate and be entered into a national prize draw. Two winners (chosen at random) will receive:

- An eReader

- Book vouchers

- Rainbow Magic or Beast Quest merchandise

- A visit to their school from a Rainbow Fairy from the Rainbow Magic series or Wizard Aduro and Nanook from the Beast Quest series

 

As we received such a large amount of books and posters we will be giving some away! For each child who completes the challenge their name will go into a raffle, the raffle winners will be announced on the last day of the competition. There is still plenty of time to take part so sign up today!

Beast Quest and Rainbow Magic Reading Challenge Coming Soon!

The National Literacy Trust have announced their latest reading challenge!

 

When we return in the summer term we will be taking part in the Beast Quest and Rainbow Magic reading challenge that is aimed at both Key Stage one and two. For those children who take part, they will go on a journey through the world of Rainbow Magic's Rainspell Island or Beast Quest's Avantia. They will travel around their chosen world collecting points for time spent reading. To complete the task, children must read all of the books in the first Rainbow Magic series or all of the books in the first Beast Quest series.

 

 

We have ordered in two lots of each series which will be available to borrow once the challenge begins. For this challenge we ask that the children who wish to take part create a group of no more than 8. We will encourage pupils to get into mixed groups, with pupils from Keys Stage one and two. They will then be given a reading pack, which will include the book they are reading, a group reading log, a reading map and a club member card for each pupil. There will be a leader for each group who will be in charge of their reading pack; this pack can then be taken out with them during lunchtimes for them to complete.
