We are more than half way through the Victorian Premier’s Reading Challenge now. Congratulations to Stacey, Lauren, Freya, Zoe and Kayla who have already finished the challenge. What’s happening with the boys, though? Robert and Aaron only have a couple of books to go, as has Hayley, but some people will need to get their books out and read, read, read if they’re to meet the challenge by the middle of August!
The most popular books being read at our school so far are The Potato People, by Pamela Allen for the juniors and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, by Roald Dahl, for the middle school. In the senior school there is a very wide range of books being read, but the one read by the most students (three!) is Specky Magee by Felice Arena and Garry Lyon.
What’s your favorite book? Why is it your favorite?

Hi Mrs C
I am Nadine from the 08Allstars in Australia!
Congratulations to all those students of yours who’ve finished, there is still time for those who haven’t! Let them read read and read and enjoy their reading!! I see that Roald Dahl is very popular according to your post!! WOW! Now my favourite book is “I, Coriander” by Sally Gardener. Why? Simply because I followed it up every second of the way and the words wouldn’t release their strong grip on my eyes. Sally Gardener wrote it beautifully, it touched me and broke my heart at times, it made me laugh, smile, frown and cry. Such a story like that… I think that everyone should read its pages of magnificence.
Lovely picture of Cat in the Hat reading!
Keep reading everyone!! You can do it!!!!!!!
