Our Idea… How are we going to do this? Create an outdoor reading area in the playground! How are we going to do this? Sponsored Read at school Write to local businesses Create an online page Sell ice-lollies in the playground

We introduced the idea to the school through an assembly. The following slides are what we used to present the idea to the whole school. We wrote letters to parents to inform them about our project…

Reading Gladiators’ Assembly

The Year 6 Reading Gladiators’ are a team of skilled readers that enjoy reading for pleasure and have met as a group to read some challenging books this year!

Final Project Leave behind a legacy.

The Reading Gladiators last year raised more than £2000 to buy books for all the class at St Matthias.

Have you ever wanted to just read a book during the break times Have you ever wanted to just read a book during the break times? Do you find that there isn’t a place to sit and enjoy a book outside?
