10th February 2011
Dear Parent/Guardian,
To encourage a lifelong love of reading at home and school and to celebrate world book day, we will be running a school sponsored read between Monday 21st February 2011 and Sunday 27th February 2011 (half term).
All of the money raised will go towards brand new books for our school. In addition to the sponsorship money raised Usborne will donate up to 60% of the total in EXTRA FREE BOOKS to the school. So for every £600 raised we will get an extra £360 in FREE Usborne books!
Please help us to enhance our reading resources for pupils by helping your child spend a small amount of time each day either reading to themselves, to others, or being read to. They can read anything with words; comics, recipes, magazines, for as long or as little as they like.
Prizes:
The child that raises the most money for the school will win a new Amazon Kindle. The child from each year group that raises the most money will be given a free book of their choice.
Sponsorship:
Should you wish to support our sponsored read, please find enclosed a sponsorship form for your child. A reading log, to record the minutes they have spent reading, will be given to them in class.
After the sponsored read, please send all the sponsorship money your child has raised to the school by Wednesday 2nd March 2011.
Please support our sponsored read so that your child has more books to read, share and enjoy in school.
Yours sincerely,
Miss Richards and Miss Murray
