Reading Challenge

On Wednesday 17 June, Chris and Sue came in to talk to us about the Summer Reading Challenge. They explained how to take part, and it’s very easy, anyone can do it. First, sign up at Blackfen Library for a membership card, then pick a selection of books. They can range from football books, poetry, stories, space, music, and many more.

If you read 6 books, you will get a certificate and a medal. If you read 9 books, you get a musical keyring, and if you read 12 books, you get a free lunch. Every year there is a new theme. This year’s theme is musical – “Read the Beat”, and last year over 14 million books were read.

It runs from 7 July to 4 September. Along the way, you can collect stickers, pencils, and bookmarks. This happens all around the world.

Thank you for listening to our Thought of the Week. Have an amazing French Day.

Au revoir.
