Term 2 has begun and May starts at the end of the week. Which is the signal for our annual children's reading challenge in Rodney to begin.Mayor Penny Webster is once again challenging all the children in Rodney to "Read half an hour a day during the month of May". Information packs have been posted out to all schools who are distributing entry forms to their classes. If you don't get an entry form at school, you can always pick one up from your local Rodney Library.
Reading can be done anywhere (including at school). Once you have finished your reading for the day, colour in the date on the calendar in the entry form. At the end of May sign the form to say you have completed the challenge, get a caregiver or teacher to sign it as well and then get it to one of the Rodney Libraries by 10th June to be in the draw to win a new bike or one of our consolation prizes. PLUS if you come into the library and take out books with your library card twice during May you get a bonus entry and an extra chance to win.
Mayor Penny and Deputy Mayor John are visiting several schools to make the challenge in person and see how you are getting on with your reading. The Mayor's message is "Keep reading and the world is yours". Popular Kiwi author Joy Cowley has also lent her support to the challenge so look out for her message in the libraries.
So make sure you get your entry form and get ready to READ HALF AN HOUR A DAY DURING THE MONTH OF MAY!!
