To start our celeberations for The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee we planted 5 trees as part of The Queen’s Green Canopy.

In the rain Pimhill went out to dig the holes.

The sun shone when represenatives from each class came to plant a tree with Kris our Forest School lead and James Reynolds our govenor.

Lara led us in prayer .

In the afternoon Pimhill finished the planting and watered the trees.

Thank you to Albrighton Estate who donated our trees.

Today we are launching our ‘Reading Challenge’ and this time we have linked your child’s reading to several journeys around the world.

It’s not that easy to travel at the moment but we are thinking about people all over the world. Why not read your way around the world with the Reading Miles Global Challenge.
Collect 500 reading miles for every 30 minutes you spend reading, with a parent, carer, or your brother or sister. You could even video call your relatives and read aloud to them. You just need a signature, amount of time read and time you read at. Collect reading miles in a special reading passport on your very own reading world tour – a whopping 33,000 miles in total! Reading counts between 8am and 7pm.
The challenge is split into seven journeys, each of which finishes in a ‘checkpoint city’.
The following resources are available to download and print off to enable you to take part in the challenge.
• A wall map of the world charting the Reading Miles Global Challenge route
• A passport to record the reading
• A certificate for when you complete the challenge
• Postcards which you can complete when you reach checkpoint cities.

• All children that complete the each journey challenge will have their names entered into the draw to win the reading challenge box of goodies. Complete all 7 journeys and you will have 7 entries, so a much better chance of winning.

We hope you will enjoy and support us with this reading challenge.

Kind regards,
