Don't forget to share your 'Get Caught Reading' photos! 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! Photos can then be sent in via our Facebook or Instagram pages.

We will then choose one winner and one runner-up from each Key Stage - these lucky ones will be rewarded with a prize. All entries need to be in by Friday 6th September. Winners will be announced during the following week's assembly.

We cannot wait to see where you will be caught reading this summer!

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.

We will choose one winner and one runner-up from each Key Stage. These lucky ones will be rewarded with a prize. All entries need to be in by Friday 6th September.

Winners will be announced during the following week’s assembly. 

Over the years, we have received hundreds of entries; from children reading aloud to animals to reading while up mountains! We have been so lucky to see you continuing your love of reading during the summer breaks. 

Here are just a small selection of last summer's photos:

This summer, make sure to look out for photos from Broadford staff, who will also be taking part in the promotion for the first time!

We cannot wait to see where you will be caught reading this summer!

Summer Reading Challenges Return!

Hopefully, you have had the chance to sign up to the National Summer Reading Challenge at your local library. This year's theme is Marvellous Makers!

By now, you should have received our Broadford school library Summer Reading Challenge Tracker, which also includes information about this year's Get Caught Reading challenge. Take a look at the trackers below:

KS1 Summer Reading Challenge Sheets: 

KS2 Summer Reading Challenge Sheets:

Our trackers are bursting with ideas and ways of keeping you reading during your summer break away from school. There are extra tasks like creating a poster, advertising your favourite book, writing a new blurb for the last book you read, and creating a monster character - just to name a few! The challenge sheet also features a bucket list - how many will you tick off?

Make sure you hand your completed trackers into the school library when you return to school by Friday 6th September 2024 for a special certificate!

Get Caught Reading!

Like previous years, we would love to see you reading during the summer break, whether it be at home or far away. Pictures can be sent in via our Facebook and Instagram pages. A library Instagram page has been set up for you to view all photos so please head over there to give us a follow.

We will choose one winner and one runner-up from each Key Stage. These lucky ones will be rewarded with a prize. All entries need to be in by Friday 6th September. Winners will be announced on Friday 13th September 2024. 

Facebook Summer Questions

We will share a reading-themed question with you every Friday during the holidays over on our Facebook page. Simply leave your answers in the comments section and one person (with the correct answer) will be chosen at random to win a prize! The lucky winners will be announced on Mondays throughout the summer holidays. Prizes will be sent home on Friday 13th September 2024.

We think that's enough to keep you busy this summer! Make sure you enjoy the outdoors and make lots of memories with your families and friends!  

Why have a reading competition?

At Broadford Primary School, we believe in developing a culture where children are intrinsically motivated to read for pleasure. We believe in encouraging them to read both inside and beyond school. We believe that the most effective way to promote reading is to work in partnership with parents and families. 

Returning Books Year Group Competition

The imminent end of the school year is always the time when requests are made for children and staff to return any borrowed library books. 

This year, we decided to create an exciting new challenge around the school! Each class has had the chance to compete within their own year group to see who could return the most library books back to the library before a certain deadline. 

This has proven to be a very popular competition for pupils and staff! As a result, we have had a large number of books returned, enabling us to restock lots of sections in the library in preparation for the new school year in September. 

Congratulations to the following classes who returned the most books within their year group: 

Year 1: Walnut

Year 2: Pine

Year 3: Cedar

Year 4: Elm

Year 5: Almond

An additional huge congratulations to Cedar class for returning the most books in the school - 107 books in total! 

Well done to all the classes that took part. 

Miss Flower & Mrs Jobber, School Librarians

Lots more 105 book certificates this week!
