I reminded the children to keep on going with their Readathon in assembly today.

I suggested that they could have ‘on the spot sponsored reads’ to drum up some money! For example, ‘Will you put 50p in my pot if I read you this poem?”

I also encouraged them to try and beat the last Readathon total…just £4 a pupil should easily do it – hopefully this helped them feel that even a small amount raised by each pupil could add up to a lot altogether!

A reminder of the benefit of a Readathon for both providing books and storytellers for children in hospital and for getting more books into school will hopefully spur them on too!

I’m looking forward to seeing those sponsor forms and money coming in on Friday!
