Premier's Reading Challenge
Many children are already busy reading books for the PRC. It is not too late to collect a checklist from Miss Clare to fill out the books you have read!
To meet the challenge you need to read the following numbers of books:
Prep – Year 2: 30 books (20 or more from the list to be read or experienced with families)
Year 3 – Year 6: 15 books (10 or more from the list)
Library Club
The Library will be open each Wednesday for half of lunchtime. We would love to listen to children read and have a chat about the books they are reading. It would be great for the children to bring the book they are currently reading or we could suggest some books. There will also be lego, mindful colouring and drawing available.
