Matilda Book Club - Week 1

Our new Matilda book club began yesterday after school. The twelve year three members were very excited to be taking part! Their first session involved describing the main characters in the story. In small groups they came up with as many words as they could to describe the main characters in the story. Here is what they thought of Miss Honey and The Trunchbull...

 

The Trunchbull was described as being...

evil, spiteful, selfish, greedy, grumpy, cruel, strong, loud, sweaty, ugly and horrid (just to name a few!)

The group were a little kinder to Miss Honey, describing her as...

helpful, kind, friendly, thoughtful, sweet, polite, beautiful, delightful, caring, clever and cheerful.



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!
