Literacy
December 2020:
- The Gift of Giving - 65 students across all years got involved with many bringing books home for family members. Easons donated 35 Books, Gill donated 10, and a publishing company donated many. Some students went home with more than 1 book, it was a great initiative and was a huge morale booster just before the break.
- Word Millionaire - Word Millionaire came to an end with the 1st years, between the 2 classes 2.4 million words were read. 60% of this was male readers, which is a huge improvement compared to previous years.
January 2021:
- Scooter: Due to Covid19 School closures we have the time and opportunity to update the Scooter Database for book cataloguing and student profile building.
- Digital media literacy: Promoting the availability of JCSP Digital library to our students on Social media platforms.
- LYLD- Planning for Love Your Library day in February in both circumstances of School or Online learning. This includes a School wide D.E.A.R and Quiz
Attainment:
