9/10 Readers’ Cup competition
Our 9/10 Readers’ Cup team competed at Moreton Bay College this week, where their knowledge was tested on four different novels. There were 25 teams and our team came 10th.
Congratulations to Alexander N, Elise W, Kate L and Amelia H for their efforts.
Carmel Reading Challenge
The Carmel Reading Challenge is designed to help support and promote literacy within the school. It’s the perfect opportunity for students to visit the library with their PC, borrow a book (or two!) and earn House Points.
As part of the challenge, I’ve asked PC teachers to ask their students the following questions:
- What are you currently reading?
- Why don’t you read?
- What was the last book you read? What did you like about it?
- What was your favourite book from primary school?
As parents/caregivers, you might like to talk about what books you are currently reading or books you enjoyed when you were in high school to help further the conversation.
Book Week is coming…
Starting Week 5:
- Daily Trivia Challenges
