National Reading Championships:
National Reading Championships
A very big well done to our pupils from Year 5 and Year 6 across the partnership that partook in the "National Reading Champions Quiz," with the National Literacy Trust, as part of the South East Regional Heats!
There were teams partaking in the championships from all across the region, including schools from Surrey, Kent and Sussex. The competition was designed to find out which school had the best knowledge of children's literature!
Pupils had to partake in quick fire questions about children's books (classic and modern), as well as answer questions that relied on skill and luck, such as anagrams and true and false questions.
The competition was open to pupils aged 10-14, and the vast majority were secondary schools - so we are exceptionally proud of our pupils for doing so well against their opposition! Well done to all of our partnership teams - and a special shout out to Mansel Park who won a special prize for their sportsmanship and participation, they will receive a gift from the National Literacy Trust!
