World Book Day 2021

Despite Covid, World Book Day went ahead as normal, records show that over 20,000 children took part online independently – more than 20 times more young people than attended the online event in previous years.

This was our first World Book Day to be held online and we were delighted at Muntham by the number of pupils who attended, they shared books, listened to the new World book Day Rap and completed a books quiz.  

World Book Day offered our pupils the opportunity to share stories together which continues to encourage a love of reading and it’s fun for everyone! World Book Day encourages everyone to read anywhere and everywhere, from breakfast to bedtime! In the park, on the train, on the sofa, on a plane – reading and sharing stories can happen anywhere at any time. 

Every Student was sent an Electronic Token

The Reading Challenge continued again this half term. The pupils choose a book independently, they needed to read three books weekly and take a quiz on Accelerated Reader. Every time they finish and reviewed a book, they were added to Muntham House Reading Challenge League chart showing words read.

All the pupils on the league chart will receive a £20 voucher but, the gold award this half term goes to Oliver C who has chosen the Diary of a Wimpy Kid Collection.
