And we’re off. Our olympic display and competitions are open. We’ve even started a Scoop-It page especially about our Reading Olympics this term. As you will see, teams Australia, Brazil and the USA are in the lead on borrowing and returning points. Who will win the cooked breakfast at the end of term? It’s still any Form Class’ game with scores very close.
Congratulations Rosheka Warwick (8G) who was the winner of the first Olympic competition. The next competition is Flags of the World so come in this week and have a go.
To feature our new books, we’ve kicked off another Scoop-It topic. Red Hot Reads, will give you a little more information about our new and not-so-new hot reads. Check it before you borrow.
We haven’t had a celebrity reader for a while. Hey we get pretty busy in the RC most weeks. Incredibly we’ve had 49,750 visitors through our doors in the first 6 months of this year!

My name is Jordan. I normally just like to read on my bed – nice and comfy. At the time I took the survey I was reading a Dr Who Book. I have a few favourite authors, my absolute favourite being Robert Muchamore. I loved reading his books as a child and still do. I’d like to meet Robert Muchamore, to discuss certain aspects behind his books. Most of the books in our house are kept on the large bookcase in our sitting room.
I’ll probably take the Hunger Game series with me on my next holiday, I often read on holiday and I really want to reread the series before all the movies come out. The last book I bought for someone was Sabriel by Garth Nix. My most memorable reads would have to be The Cherub Series. I still remember waiting the long months for the new books to be released. The Harry Potter series I’ll never forget, I’m sure everyone loved these and I just waited in anticipation as a child. And lastly the FAYZ series, which I just devoured on a camping trip.
My favourite book(s) as a child were the Harry Potter series. I’d just love for the Cherub Series to be made into a film, seeing all the stunts they do in real life would be awesome! Although, unless they work closely with the author it may be ruined!
THANKS JORDAN !
