Over 50 of our Year 2-6 students don’t need any encouragement to read - they completed our Autumn Holiday Reading Challenge by reading for at least 15 minutes every day of the recent holidays. These students coloured in a book on their Challenge brochure each day and also provided feedback on some of the books that they read.
Ms Dodson and I had a great time reading through all of the books that students read and got some great ideas for the stories that our students love to read.
To celebrate our amazing readers each of these students was invited to the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party on Wednesday, 3rd May. Besides some delicious fancy treats, students competed to tear a Mintie wrapper into the longest strip - congratulations Choe J - and perform a spell on Ms Dodson using their marshmallow wands. Our favourite spell scanned all the books back automatically and magically put them back on their correct shelf. Although we did also like the magical invisible room in our house full of books and a bean bag and the spell that would take us into any land as we read about it in our book!
