Reading Award

The Reading Award is a Bosbury School weekly award which rewards those children who do lots of reading at home either on their own or with parents, grandparents, siblings, aunties, uncles, cousins, friends, babysitters... just about anyone!

Teaching assistants check each child's yellow reading record weekly, and, if they have read FIVE times or more beyond the expected three times a week with each entry being signed by a parent, guardian or family member, they are given a special reading raffle ticket!

The ticket goes into the pot and, if it is picked out by Mrs. McManus in the draw held during Wednesday morning's Celebration Assembly, the child will receive a special Reading Award prize of a brand new shiny book of their own choosing from the bursting Bosbury book bucket (yes, we love alliteration!).

Pupils who impress with extra-diligent and dedicated reading over a number of weeks may even be awarded bonus raffle tickets, further increasing their chances of winning! 

Congratulations to the lovely young lady from Class 1 and the very smiley young man from Class 4 shown below, fittingly posing with their shiny new books in Class 4's cosy reading corner after becoming the very last Bosbury School Reading Award raffle winners of the 2023/24 academic year!

Well done and we hope you enjoy reading your new Roald Dahl's Revolting Rhymes and Just William - William's Birthday and Other Stories books over the summer holidays! Revolting Rhymes is a real Roald Dahl classic (even if it does contain a few cheeky bits!), while the adventures of Just William our proving to be a recent new hit at Bosbury!

Unfortunately, an extremely busy last week of the school year meant that we were sadly unable to perform the final reading raffle before the summer for Class 2, Class 3 and Class 5, but fear not Bosbury bookworms - there will be plenty of opportunity to get your tickets into the pot when we come back to school in September. Keep reading over the holidays everyone!

 Final Reading Award Winners of the 2023/24 Academic Year! - 19.07.24

Keep reading over the summer everyone to be in with a chance of being one of the next Reading Award raffle winners! Three reads a week is good, but try and really go for it and read FIVE times in one week in order to be put in the hat! Good luck, and Happy Reading Bosbury!

 Do YOU enjoy reading as much as all these lovely young bookworms do? Thank you to Mrs. Watkins for running our school library on a Thursday afternoon (it's the highlight of many children's week!), and to Friends of Bosbury School (FOBS), who very kindly donated our amazing and very cosy reading shed in the Key Stage 1 playground which our pupils ADORE using at lunchtimes!
