To help us mark the 2012 National Year of Reading, the ISC put forward a proposal to run a Readers Cup as part of our House Cultural Festival this year. We were delighted when this proposal was accepted and we were happy to trial it for our Year 7's and 8's.The Readers Cup is a competition that promotes and recognises the importance of reading and seemed to fit nicely into our Cultural Festival.Each House had a team of four students who read four novels and on the day showcased their reading,teamwork and creativity through their participation in a Quiz and presentation of a multimedia response to one of the novels read.
Leading up to the event, I must admit I was getting somewhat concerned.Usually we would have a tight rein on the organisation of an event like this, but as we had handed it over to the House Cultural Captains it was a matter of "let's see what happens".My sleepless night was not necessary as the event was a great success and all involved had lots of fun.We were extremely impressed with the participants efforts and loved their multimedia responses.It was also great to have boys as well as girls competing.Well done to the winning House,Cranswick Dargo and Emily Harrison,Annabelle Lamb,Felicity Ried and Ally Hardy.
