Castle Hill children had another brilliant month of reading in June, Every single month we challenge the whole school to read more and more. The children read impressively throughout June, which is such a busy month in and out of school. They read 815 books and 2,568,361 words, they were just a minute off reaching our school reading target of reading for 15 minutes every single day. It will be interesting to see if they can beat these scores in July!
Spending time reading is the most important thing any child can do to improve their learning, so please listen to your children read as much as possible and encourage them to read at home so they can complete their quizzes in school. If you have any questions or queries about reading, then please speak to your child’s class teacher or Mr Spurgeon.
