Term 2 AR (Accelerated Reader) Awards for pupils who achieved their individual targets

Back to News
26th Mar 2024

 

With term 2 finishing on Thursday, it was time to reward the pupils who have met their individual reading targets in AR. Many boys received certificates for their efforts from AR Coordinator, Mr. Connolly and those who achieved their target points got the opportunity to guess a three-digit code to open the AR safe and collect the reward inside. Unfortunately, we had no winning code chosen, so another opportunity to win will be offered in term 3.

Boys who have shown a positive attitude to their reading, which was reflected in their word count also got certificates. Individual teachers have also been giving out reward passes for effort e.g. homework passes, non-uniform pass, extra play pass, break of choice pass etc. It’s fair to say that the homework pass proved a very popular choice.

We encourage all the boys to read over the Easter holidays, so they are ready to quiz as soon as they start term 3 and give themselves an opportunity to reach targets and receive rewards.

A special mention to the first word millionaire in Year 4!

It definitely pays to read in Holy Cross Boys’.
