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?

All of our grade members are currently trying to meet the Victorian Premier’s Reading Challenge. To meet this challenge students must read 15 books by August and ten of the books must be from the recommended reading list. Some of our students have taken to the challenge very quickly, reading several books during the recent term break. Links to the Challenge reading lists can be found here. For our grade, Mrs C also has a printout of the list for grades 5/6 in our room for browsing, and Mr H in the library has set up the catalogue so that you can search for just Challenge books. The town library will also be able to help students to find books. Too easy!
Grade 5/6C students may log onto the website with the username and password they got in class, and from there they may add their own reading to their online log. It’s good practice of online skills and it will save Mrs C a heap of time too! Well done to Zoe, who was the first class member to take on this task for herself.
