Library & Interhouse Quiz

 

Even though pupils are not coming into the Library to borrow books, we are continuing lessons in the classroom, reading our favourite stories and working on literacy skills. Throughout lockdown, pupils joined the “Extreme Reading challenge” and contributed a photograph of themselves doing some extreme reading. Each class created a slide show of it’s members reading up trees, whilst doing handstands, even reading to pet chickens!

 

We have completed the inter-house quiz in Library lessons, including rounds in general knowledge, pop music, memory skills and solving puzzles.  It has been an exciting close contest and the results are as follows:

4th Notwane (840 points)

3rd Shashe (895 points)

2nd Limpopo (903 points)

1st Chobe (920 points)

 

There are still some fabulous books offered for free for all reading ages, so until we can loan our books to our pupils again, they should continue reading  for pleasure from the sites on this link:

Also, here is a link to sites that provide informative and excellent reading about current affairs and the world around us.  Encourage your children to expand their view of the world with these sites written specifically for Primary school readers
