Spinebreakers For Broadford

 

You may have remembered last year when David and Leah wrote to publishers around the country asking for unpublished books to read and review. We were sent out a selection of books immediately. To follow on from there we have created the role of two Spinebreakers per key stage two class. Their first task has been to record their reading and write a few reviews in their reading packs.

 

Over the coming weeks they will begin work on displaying their reviews in the books they have read and will create individual fact files, giving tips on reading and their thoughts on what makes a good book. The Spinebreakers will be given the opportunity to create their own reading challenges and will promote books, new and old, to their fellow classmates.

 

The Spinebreakers have been chosen for their keen interest in reading. New members will be selected each term, the autumn term Spinebreakers are;

 

Rowan - Shyanne and Bryan

Ash - Deborah and Teddy

Birch - Thelma and Kieran

Willow - Kirsty and Uthman

Maple - Terrika and Nathan

Elm - Daniella and Fawaz
