Wednesday 24th April
At Henry Whipple Primary School, the Reading Champions and Miss Buckley organised a reading wristband and a Who Am I? clue sheet.
The children could design their wristband with their favourite books which they enjoy reading for pleasure.
Thank you to our children and families for taking the time to do this!
The Reading Champions joined Mrs Hodgson to deliver an assembly to discuss what reading looks like at Henry Whipple Primary.
The children were able to share why reading is so important and how we showcase this.
The Reading Champions finished the assembly by sharing what reading for pleasure means to them.
Here they are:
Armarnah: I enjoy reading for pleasure when I am in the reading den in my classroom
Dania: I enjoy reading for pleasure when I am at home reading with my family.
Tia: I enjoy reading for pleasure in my bedroom when I am by myself.
Pedrina: Reading for pleasure is very important to me. I can read lots of different types of stories. I love reading!
Kyle: Reading for pleasure is special to me because I get the chance to read and learn new things.
Brian: Reading for pleasure means that I can understand different stories and enjoy the true meanings of them. It makes you feel like you are experiencing them first hand.
Thank you to all of the Reading Champions for attending our after school meeting to discuss reading for pleasure and World Book Day.
Please keep a look out for our meeting minutes and a peek at our new reading area!
The Reading Champions have worked alongside The Eco Team to organise a book swap for the whole school to take part in.
The Eco Team have been busy finding top tips in order to cut down carbon emissions.
So, The Reaching Champions wanted to get on board. Mrs Chambers shared with us a way we could do this is by reusing a book. We invited the children to bring in a book which they would like to swap with someone else in their class in order to reuse and recycle.
We had a great turn out and the children were so excited to take home a new book!
Thank you to the parents/carers who supported this event at HWP.
