Reading Assembly - Have You Started Your Readathon Yet?

Mrs Nicholls lead the KS1 assembly this week with Rachel Bright's brilliant tale of 'The Lion Inside'. Little mouse dreams of becoming more like Lion - brave, courageous and bold. He knows he needs to start by learning to ROAR, so builds up the courage to ask Lion for help. Click here to listen to an audio version of this story. This book can be found on the Year 1 Reading Tracker.

Welcome back! We hope you had an enjoyable week off. This half of the Spring Term is jam-packed with lots of reading fun; we have World Book Day, author visits, reading reward trips, Spinebreaker outings and a Readathon to look forward to!

Miss Hamilton lead the KS2 assembly with an introduction to the text 'Anisha: Accidental Detective' by Selena Patel. This mystery has the reader firmly on the edge of their seat!

Broadford To Take Part In Read For Good's Readathon!

 To celebrate World Book Day and our love of reading, we have signed up to take part in Read for Good's Readathon!

Later in the week, pupils will bring home a sponsor booklet and bookmark. We kindly ask that pupils are sponsored reading for 10 minutes every day. Sponsors can be anyone: aunts, uncles, cousins, nans or neighbours - the more the merrier! 

Our Readathon will start on Friday 24th February and will last for two weeks; coming to an end on Friday 10th March. We ask that sponsor money is sent into school in a sealed envelope with the child's name and class on the front by Friday 17th March 2023. The two children who raise the most will receive National Book Tokens.

Money raised will be spent on brand new books for children who are being cared for in hospitals across the country. As a school, we will receive 20% of the total amount raised to spend on new books for our pupils.

Take Part In Broadford's Readathon - Sign Up Ready For The Summer Term!

We are taking part in Readathon from Monday 28th April until Friday 9th May 2014 and we'd like pupils from all years to take part!

 

Readathon is the UK'S national sponsored reading event, encouraging children to read for pleasure, while raising money for seriously ill children. Readathon supports three children's charities: Readwell, which provides books and storytelling to children in hospital; CLIC Sargent, giving support to children and young people with cancer and their families; and Roald Dahl's Marvellous Children's Charity, which helps seriously ill and disabled children.

 

We received our pack in the post last week, which included bookmarks and sponsor cards for 30 pupils (we can request more if needed) and a free copy of The Sunday Times bestseller, The Book Thief!

 

 

Everyone who takes part will be rewarded with a certificate and the two top readers will receive a £5 book token each. Plus our school will get free books worth 20% of the total money we raise! 

 

Spinebreakers Kingsley, Lilly, Yinka and Dara will be making a list of children who would like to take part, so if you see them in the playground with their sign-up sheet please sign up then or let Miss Sparkes know the next time you visit. You will receive your bookmark and sponsor sheet on Monday

Tuesday 22nd April 2014. Good luck!
