MR HART'S ACCELERATED READING UPDATE

22nd May 2020

Good morning boys and girls and well done for completing another week of online learning. Yet again your results are amazing and a credit to you and your families. 

As you know it can be difficult to source books but the following ReadonMyon service is excellent and has a selection of E-books which are part of the Accelerated Reading Programme. 

This week a total of 46 books were read. Well done to all of the boys and girls who have read a book and taken a quiz. These pupils are:

  • Eimear Cox
  • Liam McGarvey
  • Jack Hughes
  • Sorcha McKinney
  • Ben Smith
  • Harry Smith
  • Milo Smith
  • Ella Toal
  • Maisie Comiskey
  • Pauric Fegan
  • Tadhg Grimley
  • Kealan Hughes
  • Jake Kiernan
  • Maja Kiernan
  • Annie McElvanna
  • Niamh McElvanna
  • Patrick Morgan
  • Megan O'Reilly
  • Sean Woods

This week I want to give a special mention to some wonderful achievements in our class:

Firstly, I want to identify a number of pupils who are now more than half way towards reaching their personal target:

  • Eimear Cox 64.3%
  • Liam McGarvey 51.6%
  • Sorcha McKinney 63.6%
  • Ella Toal 47%
  • Tadhg Grimley 63.1%
  • Patrick Morga 61.3%

I also want to commend those pupils who have achieved exceptionally high word counts this week:

Primary Six Primary Seven
Niamh McElvanna 135,103 words Ben Smith 198,227 words
Annie McElvanna 116,088 words Liam McGarvey 66,002 words 
Sean Woods 110,396 words Eimear Cox 55,340

Incredibly, as a class, we have read 1,024,839 words this week!

Finally to announce our star readers. With such a fantastic week of reading this proved to be very difficult, however, I have selected four pupils who have clearly made a significant effort this week. Those pupils are:

  • Maja Kiernan
  • Pauric Fegan
  • Milo Smith
  • Jack Hughes

Thus far the effort made has been fantastic. I look forward to seeing new names next week as we continue with our Accelerated Reading journey. Well done Boys and girls!
