Reading challenge brings big rewards
The children kept their eyes glued to pages for 5,587 minutes (93 hours) after being set the task of reading as much as possible for a week. The money is being spent with Usborne Books to replenish the school’s currently library and classroom stock, with Usborne topping up the final total by £660.
St Botolph’s is supporting the Vision for Reading initiative which was rolled out in Peterborough earlier this year.
