How does it work? 

During the summer, we are inviting parents/carers and family members to ‘catch their child reading’. It could be a book, a comic, a menu, instructions - anything with words! Children might be caught reading on the beach, in the garden, up a tree or snuggled on the sofa - the more creative, the better! 

How to take part:

There is ONE entry per child. Please send one photo (with your child's full name and new class) of your child caught reading over the summer - that is all you need to be entered into the challenge!

How does it work? 

During the summer holidays, parents/carers and other family members look out for chances to ‘catch their child reading’. This can be a book or any other reading material, such as timetables, recipes or instructions. Children may be caught reading on holiday somewhere, snuggled up at home, in the local library, up a tree in the garden - the more creative, the better! The photos can then be shared via our social media platforms to celebrate the reading being done and to promote the competition to other families.

Like previous years, we would love to see you reading during the summer break, whether it be at home or far away. Photos can be sent in via our Facebook and Instagram pages. 

Please head over to our Instagram Page to view all the photos.

Reading Assembly - Summer Reading Winners Announced!

This week, our reading assemblies were lead by Miss Betty (KS2 assembly) and Mrs Hathaway (KS1 assembly). Each assembly started off with an introduction to a new book featured on the list of 105 Books to Read Before you Leave Broadford.

Miss Betty shared the introduction to Roald Dahl's, The Magic Finger, which can be found on the Year 3 Reading Tracker. Our reading assembly fell on 'Roald Dahl Day'! What a way to celebrate by reading the opening chapters to one of his most loved books!

Mrs Hathaway read Marcus Pfister's 'Rainbow Fish'. Year 1 were excited to hear this story, as it was one of their favourites when they were in Reception. This book can be found on the Reception Reading Tracker. You can find a selection of colouring pictures to colour here.

We have purchased extra copies of each title, all of which can be borrowed from the library now.

Summer Reading Challenge

At the end of the last academic year, pupils were given a reading tracker to complete over the summer break. Well done to the following children, who successfully completed their trackers;

Robyn, Oscar, Nikita, Andreea, Torsten, Adam, Aryaan, Anaelle, Eason, Iustin, Alice, Jessica, Tesha, George, Louise-Marie, Madalina, Leonard and Alex. 

Get Caught Reading

We were delighted to receive over 100 photos of our pupils reading during the summer. Like previous years, choosing one winner and one runner-up per key stage was very testing! With so many fantastic photos to choose from, we finally made our decisions...

KS1 Winner: Wais and KS1 Runner-Up: Alice

KS2 Winner: Deivydas and KS2 Runner-Up: Lily-Mae

The winning pupils were rewarded with Book Tokens
