Literacy Trust Awards

Magic Forest Challenge:
Well done to Andreea & Sofia who have reached Grizelda's Tower! This is the end of their reading journey through the Friendship Forest.

To complete the adventure, our pupils had to read their way around Friendship Forest. For every 10 minutes they spend reading they moved a step closer to the finish – 10 hours in total! There were seven different locations to visit, when they reached a new location Miss Sparkes verified that the reading had taken place.

The challenge made me want to read more every night. If I did twenty minutes I could colour in two steps on the pathway! It was really fun.

Frankie's Magic Challenge
Well done to Holly, Ruben and Hayden who have read enough to complete Frankie's Magic Challenge.

How did it work?
The competition used the popular series Frankie’s Magic Football and Magic Animal Friends to engage and motivate pupils to read more for pleasure. Pupils recorded their reading journey in their own special log books and every 10 minutes they read took them a step closer to the finish. Every pupil who completed the challenge was also eligible to be entered into a prize draw.

Free books!
Our school was one of the first 500 eligible to register - meaning we were provided with a class set of 30 books. We also had access to a wealth of resources: A beautifully designed Frankie’s Magic Football or Magic Animal Friends themed reading log into which pupils could record their reading

Since starting the challenges in the library we have seen a significant increase in the number of reading sessions completed at home.
