To celebrate the Reading Hour and reading at our school we took on the challenge to see how many minutes our school could read during Book Week from Saturday, August 17th – Saturday, August 23rd. We planned to count reading minutes at home and in our classrooms. We had no idea how many minutes we would read…
Congratulations to the 401 (out of 540) students and 8 teachers who took up our Reading Minutes Challenge. Our combined Reading Minutes were…
1655.8 hours
68.9 days
9.8 weeks
2.2 months
An awesome effort by everyone who read!!
Congratulations to our top three classes…
6AC – 11,754 minutes
3BJ – 8055 minutes
4ID – 6344 minutes

To Miss Y
I am going to print up the email and keep it in my special box that’s mostly full of footy stuff.
Hi Nathan
That’s a great idea! You need to put a photo of you as Maxx Rumble with your email.
Have a great weekend!

Hello Matthew
I was amazed at how many minutes our school read for too! It was a fabulous whole school effort!
Lots of students said they were surprised how many minutes they had actually read when they added them up. Were you surprised by your personal reading minutes?
Happy reading!
Miss Y 🙂
Dear Miss Y,
I was very surprised with how many minutes I read.I could not have read that much because it felt like 5 minutes
From Matthewh 3TM
Hi Matthew
When you read a great book you often get lost in the story and don’t notice the time passing – I wonder of that’s what happened to you?
Happy reading this week!
Miss Y 🙂
