Sponsored Reading Challenge
To encourage a lifelong love of reading at home and school, we are running a school sponsored reading challenge in association with World Book Day between Monday 28th February and Friday 4th March 2022. Children are sponsored to complete as many of the reading challenges in the grid as they can for the duration of the event. All the money raised will go towards brand new books for our school. Please see the letters below for the challenge grids.

2021 Winter Reading Challenge
If your child enjoyed this year’s Summer Reading Challenge, they may be interested to hear about the current Winter Mini Challenge. This is all online, so no need for children to collect anything in libraries. But there is a fun website, where children can find games and book-related activities, along with ideas for what to read next. You can set up a personal profile on the site and anyone who reads and logs 3 books by 16 January can download a certificate and a limited-edition virtual badge. The website address is wintermini.org.uk.
The ‘story’ of the Winter Challenge takes the same Wild World Heroes characters as in the Summer Challenge to a new adventure in the Arctic, where they find out about the creatures that live there and some of the environmental issues facing this region. I hope that children will find this both interesting and fun.

Celebrating World Book Day
World Book Day 2021 was a little different this year, but Long Lane children and staff still managed to celebrate their love of books and reading in style. Both at home and in school, we have enjoyed a whole week of activities, including Masked Reader competitions, My Favourite Book show and tell, Author and Illustrator Academy workshops, quizzes, reading challenges, special lessons, daily story times and even a pyjama party bedtime story. Our children have been very creative, building puppet theatres to retell favourite stories, making books, redesigning front covers and creating story characters from potatoes!
