to celebrate the Gladiators’ achievement over the course of the programme

To foster a love of reading and make them hungry for more books with covers they wouldn’t normally have picked up, more books by the authors they have been introduced to and just the desire to read more widely and think about and share the stories they read, relating them to their own lives and those around them.
This could be formally To take on a role of Library monitor or Reading Champion – if you don’t already have these in place in your school now might be anappropriate time to establish these roles

Option 3 is the model we will be using next year on the whole, as the number of school participating grows it becomes unfeasible for us to attend all the events in the last half term. We cannot start any earlier as this would infringe on the time given to the last book. We will support this by putting you in touch with schools in your area and provide support materials including a suggested plan for the day.
