I’m delighted to see three more Primary Five pupils reached their targets this week. Well done Eva Toal, Lily McElvanna and Odhrán McGeary. Well done boys and girls, I know each of you made an extra special effort this week to make sure you reached your target! A special well done to Tara Gray in Primary Six who has also reached her target recently and is now on 112%. Good girl Tara, I’m very impressed to see you’re reading a Harry Potter book!

I want to mention a few pupils who have already reached their target and have continued to read and take quizzes! This is brilliant to see:

  • Ellen McKenna – 452.9%
  • Ciaran Woods – 153.7%
  • Philip Carr – 137.4%

This week, in Primary Five we have three star readers. Well done to ... Rionach McArdle, Mya Grimley and Sean Lappin.

I was delighted to see Rionach McArdle working hard on her accelerated reading this week and maintaining an accuracy of 98%. Well done Rionach, keep up the super reading!

Sean Lappin has been working hard on his accelerated reading this week. Sean has now read 23 books in total, good boy Sean! Keep up the great work!

Mya Grimley has been working hard on her accelerated reading from the very beginning and is now very close to reaching her target on 83%! I can tell Mya must have loved the books she was reading this week as she read nine books from the Mr Men series so well done Mya!

This week, my Primary Six star reader is ... Ethan McCann.

Ethan McCann has been working consistently on his Accelerated Reading over the past few weeks and has been making it into the most words read award almost every week! Good boy Ethan!

I really enjoyed giving out all of these very deserving awards this week. If you haven’t appeared in this news article, I look forward to seeing your name popping up on my computer screen next week for great reading.

I hope you all have a lovely long weekend and take a well-deserved break. After a great week of schoolwork, I think that is a day for hot chocolate and a movie!!☺️

Stay safe everyone

Miss Rock
