Get caught reading

  • May Is Get Caught Reading Month!


    Throughout May, we are celebrating
    Get Caught Reading Month — a wonderful chance to shine a spotlight on the joy of reading!

     

    We would love your help in capturing our children in the act of reading. Please send in a photo of your child enjoying a book. This could be:

    • Reading in their favourite cosy spot
    • Reading outdoors in the sunshine
    • Reading to a sibling, pet or teddy
    • Reading something unusual or fun (comics, magazines, recipes, signs, etc.)
    • Reading in an unexpected place — creativity encouraged!

     

    You can either:
    – Print the photo and send it into school,
    or
    – Email it to your child’s year group email address

     

    We will be creating a lovely display to celebrate all the wonderful readers in our school.

     

    Thank you for helping us promote a lifelong love of reading! 📖💛
