P4 Accelerated Reading update

5th Jun 2020

Good morning boys and girls, I hope you are all doing well and finding the work manageable. I just want to remind everyone about the reason we do Accelerated Reading in our school and that is to help you become better readers and hopefully foster a love of reading. So it is important that when you are choosing your books you pick books that you are enjoying. Reading should bring pleasure.

Once again as I scan through our weekly results I see how hard you are working and I know it is not easy, especially in these unusual times, so that makes me doubly proud.

This week I want to give a special mention to five children who are working steadily week on week and are getting ever so close to their target. I want to encourage you boys and girls to keep going


LUCY SMITH    FINN McGOLDRICK    JACK LAPPIN    AARON HUGHES   and     ANNIE GREENE  ðŸ™Œ 🙌

This week we had two boys reach their targets. I was delighted to see all their hard work work pay off and they can celebrate with their families this weekend. So a very big CONGRATULATIONS to 

                                                 CILLIAN GREENE     and RIOGHAN GRIMLEY

Well done boys, you both fully deserve your award as I watched you both work steadily towards your targets each week 🙌 🙌

I also want to give a special mention to one boy who is very very very close to reaching his target. Conor McGoldrick you are so close at 99.7% of your target. Next week I look forward to mentioning you in our targets achieved awards. Excellent effort and keep going.

Again this week I saw children making an extra special effort with their reading Leah Fegan +37 points, Leila Hughes +27 points, Conor McGoldrick +23 points, Claire McElvanna +25 points, Ellierose Rafferty +29 points, Brannagh Smith +16 points, Matthew Schramm-McKeown +12 points, Caela Stapleton +19 points, Finn McGoldrick +18 points, James Carroll +15points and Aaron Hughes +15 points. 
This is a fantastic effort by these children and I hope you keep it up.

This week I have chosen five children as my STAR readers for their consistency and dedication to reaching their targets. Some have reached their targets and continue to impress me weekly others are working steadily towards reaching their targets. I want to congratulate the following children for their hard work:

           FINN McGOLDRICK   ELLIEROSE RAFFERTY   BRANNAGH SMITH    AARON HUGHES  JAMES CARROLL 

Well done children and keep up the great work 🙌 🙌

Well done to everyone and I look forward to seeing more names mentioned next week.

Keep safe everyone and God bless.

Mrs Smith
