Reading Competition!

Friday, 6 March 2020

Our reading display!

On Friday 6th March during our merit assembly we congratulated the winners of our latest Reading Competition – Reading in Unusual Places.

We had SO many entries and Dr Matusiak-Varley had a wonderful time looking through all of the entries!

Dr Matusiak-Varley found it very difficult to choose the winners as the photos were all so fantastic, but she managed to award first, second and third places.

We have displayed all of the entries in school so they can be enjoyed by everyone!
