First Minister's Reading Challenge
Once again, we are taking part in the First Ministers Reading Challenge.  Our aim is to make Gracemount a Reading School.  The first challenge this year is for S1-S3 pupils.  Each English teacher has a chart in their room.  Every time one of their pupils has finished reading a book, they will mark it down on the chart.  There will be extra challenges along the way.  There will be a reward for the classes of the teacher who have read the most books.  The initial challenge will run till the October break.  Influence by Strictly come Dancing ...'Keep Reading!'
