PREMIERS' READING CHALLENGE REMINDER 

One good thing we can do over these lockdown days is to read. The theme for this year’s Premiers' Reading Challenge is, ‘Open up a New World’ and these winters days are perfect for immersing ourselves in exciting adventures and learning new things discovered in books. 

It is also a good time to record your reading on the Premiers' Reading Challenge website. 

All children have been given their login details and can continue to add books.

We are hoping all Murrumbeena Primary students complete their reading challenge of …

Prep to year 2

Number of books: 30

Number of books from the Challenge book list: 20 or more

Year 3 to year 6

Number of books: 15

Number of books from the Challenge book list: 10 or more

Another good task is to review some books you have read, as well as reading other children’s reviews. You might find a good book recommended by another student from a different Victorian school.

Well done to the 17 students who have already achieved the challenge and happy reading to the many students who are already well on the way to achieving that goal.
