2024/25

2023/24

As Reading champions we have successfully promoted World Book Day in the Spring term and handed out vouchers to all classes. The focus of the day was poetry and all classes took part in World Book Day activities. Everyone enjoyed dressing as their favourite characters from a book.

We are also working on promoting authors and have a project during the Summer term to display each year group’s favourite author in the library.  We will also be creating a display on a shelf to share our favourite books and also to display our favourite poems shared in class this year. Finally, we are in the process of creating a wellbeing bus (storage area) to host books that focus on feelings and emotions, mental health, aspirations and sustainability, for children to read for pleasure when visiting the library.

Projects

Spring Term 24/25

Project 1 – Reading Scrap Books

In the Autumn term, the Reading Champions met to discuss the re-launch of our reading scrap books. Classes across the school have been very enthusiastic in sharing their love for reading and are showcasing their favourite reads in them.
During our January meeting, the Reading Champions shared the progress of their class scrap books with each other.

Later in the year, they look forward to judging the class with the most inspiring book. There will be a prize given out at the start of the Summer term.

In the summer term, we met with Nik and Amy Z to judge the most inspirational reading scrapbook. We reflected on each scrap book’s front cover, content, design and whether it would inspire us to read something new.

After a carefully considered vote, 5LR were chosen as the lucky winners and received some magazines to read for pleasure in their class reading area.     

 

Project 2 – Wellbeing Bus

Take a look at some of our Reading Champions showing off our School Library Wellbeing Bus. The Wellbeing Bus hosts a number of books that focus on feelings and emotions, mental health, aspirations and sustainability. These are for our pupils to read for pleasure when visiting the school library.

 

Project 3 - World Book Day

During Spring, we met to discuss ideas for World Book Day. We decided on a theme of bedtime/feel good reads. The whole school were really excited to come to school dressed in their pyjamas/comfy clothes and enjoyed sharing their favourite reads with their classes.

Project 4 - Readathon

In Spring, KS2 Reading Champions recorded an assembly to launch Read for good’s sponsored Readathon. After 2 weeks of sponsored reading, 2LD and 5LR were awarded with a certificate and exciting new reading materials for their book corners. Both classes read the most minutes for KS1 and KS2. Here are their Reading Champions, happy to receive their prizes.
