Year 8 ‘Read-On’ Event

04 Nov Year 8 ‘Read-On’ Event

Year 8 will be participating in the N.I Cancer Fund of Children’s ‘Read-On’ between Thursday, 6^th November – Thursday, 13^th November, 2014.

This event will raise valuable money for a very important charity and will raise awareness of the importance of reading. Regular reading improves literacy and in turn this improves examination success and pupils self-confidence.

The ‘Read-On’ will take place in all Library and Literacy classes and during half of all English lessons. Year 8 pupils were visited by a speaker from the charity on Tuesday, 4^th November and the pupils were given a sponsor sheet to take home.

Contributions to the charity will be gratefully received in, or before Monday 17^th November. Please send money in envelopes with the amount on the exterior and with the pupils sponsorship sheet inside. Cheques can be made out to the charity or cash may be given. Contributions should be handed in to English, Literacy or Library teachers.

Thank you for your support!
