Caught you reading competition
Following today's assembly (14 March 2024), Mrs Quinney has launched the 'Caught you reading competition'.
We want pupils to take pictures of them reading in the most inventive of places. This can be done over the Easter Holidays.
It might be, that you are reading:
- Abroad in a different country
- In a nice park with family
- On a family holiday
- In your own back garden
Wherever you are, it's easy to pick up a book and read! You can submit your photos after the holidays to Mrs Quinney and be added to our school display.
Good Luck.

Bookflix
What is Bookflix?
Bookflix is a reward scheme which builds a love of reading and learning: It is an engaging and fun way for everyone to share a love of reading whilst being rewarded for it. The vast majority of pupils at WPA love to read so, this is a fantastic way to share what we are reading and help encourage others. At the end of every day, we share what we have been reading. This helps develop an understanding of other people's viewpoints and taking in perspectives that we might never have considered.
How to get rewarded:
All you need to do is read and be rewarded for it! Every time you read a book and fill in a review you will get a stamp. Once you have 5 stamps you will get a voucher.
Book Reviews:
Writing a book review is incredibly important as it helps readers make informed decisions about which books to read. Reviews provide insights into the book's quality, style, themes, and whether it aligns with the reader's preferences. We have a Bookfix review book at WPA filled with all the pupil’s book reviews to help and inspire us on what to read next.
Remember you need to fill in a book review to get a stamp.
“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.”
