Summer reading challenge

Here is information from the library service about this year’s summer reading challenge.  Follow the link to register.

The Summer Reading Challenge combines FREE access to books with fun creative online activities; This year it has been extended and will be launched on Friday 5th June and run until mid-September.

 How the Challenge works

• Children sign up online to the Digital Summer Reading Challenge https://summerreadingchallenge.org.uk/.
• The website will be free to access, featuring games, quizzes, digital and downloadable activities to incentivise and encourage children and their families to take part in the Challenge at home. Although library buildings are closed, libraries will also continue to deliver the Challenge through virtual services and e-lending platforms i.e. Borrowbox, Facebook and Twitter.
• Children taking part this year will be asked to set their own reading goal and we are keen to see if this encourages take up and completion. However, we will still be suggesting six books as the best goal to try for. Children who complete their Summer Reading Challenge will be able to download a certificate.

Quizzes can now be accessed on line.  Please use the link below and then enter in your user name and password.  You just need to click on the Accelerated Reader tab to access the quizzes.

Four Triangle Puzzle

This one asks you to find how many different shapes you can make with 4 triangles.  It is a good starting point for thinking about different shapes.
