ABI ELPHINSTONE AND HARRIET MUNCASTER VISITED US TO TALK ABOUT THEIR BOOKS- THIS IS WHAT HARRIET SAID:"I had a wonderful visit with the key stage one children of Whitton School. I loved hearing all their brilliant story and character ideas and seeing the really amazing bats, Pink Rabbits and dragons they all drew. I was also particularly impressed with the behaviour of all the children, right from the moment they walked into the assembly hall. They were all exceptionally attentive and made me feel very appreciated as a guest at their school." All the best, Henry and Harriet

Reading Millionaires and Mini-Millionaires Club
KEEP YOUR READING GOING AND BECOME A READING MILLIONAIRE
All the children have to do is read - as much as possible - and continue to complete the online AR quizzes! The club is based on the number of words read - the target to reach is one million words for Years 4, 5 and 6 and 100,000 words for other years.
Ultimately there will be a prize for all those who reach the target, as well as a little something for the class who have read the most words at the end of the academic year!
Happy Reading
