Thank you to everyone that entered this competition, there were so many entries. Miss Whiteley hard a really tough time judging them but eventually chose a winner.
The Winner is:
Taliah (Year 5) – well done!
A £10 book voucher and certificate will be coming its way to you very soon and everyone who entered will be receiving a runners up certificate.
Do you think you could be Leeds Reading Champion of 2022?
The School Library Service (we borrow resources from them in blue plastic boxes) together with publishing house Barringtoke Stoke and author Anna James have launched a competition open to all children in KS2.
One entry per school can be sent to them with the winner invited to attend the awards ceremony in July where they will receive a trophy and ‘crowned’ Leeds Reading Champion.
As there only one entry per school an be submitted Miss Whiteley thought children might like to have a ACE competition so that lots of children could enter rather than just Miss Whiteley selecting someone and possibly not considering some children.
The winner of the ACE competition will receive a £10 book voucher and their entry will be submitted to the School Library Service’s competition.
Miss Whiteley will be talking about this competition during library sessions this week and anyone who would like to enter can collect a form from Miss Whiteley.
The questions to consider are:
Closing date: Thursday 26th May
What an absolutely amazing day!
So many fantastic costumes, it was almost as if characters had had stepped off of the pages of their books and come to life!
The day began with children enjoying quizzes in KS1 and UKS2 in their classrooms and LKS2 children in the hall and continued with lots of book themed activities taking place throughout school. In the afternoon, Year 5 and Year 6 were treated to a visit by author Clare Povey in the afternoon who set them a quiz about herself and talked to them about writing and her book, The Unexpected Tale of Bastien Bon Livre.
A day of celebrating all things bookish will be taking place on 3rd March. The theme this year is characters from books and we are inviting children to come into school dressed as a character or to bring in a prop from a book. If your child is dressing up or bringing in a prop they should bring in the book as well. If they are not dressing up then they should wear school uniform as normal as it is not a non-school uniform day.
Throughout the day children will be able to share their favourite stories with each other and participate in lots of activities. £1 World Book Day vouchers will also be given out and these can be exchanged for World Book Day books at participating retailers.
