Beaumont readers brighten the library with stars

 

As you can see from the photo, the Accelerated Reader display board in the library is brimming with all the stars earned by our Year 7 and 8 students this term. Every star will be entered into a special draw with prizes for the lucky reader from each form. Well done to ALL the students who have passed book quizzes and contributed to their form's points total.

The following students earned a silver or gold star last week:

Silver
7L Leila Macpherson
7R Ryan Rollings
7R Rosie Tembras
8S Daisy Porter

Gold
7A Nick Berman

We can also estimate the number of words read by each student based on their book quizzes. The following students have reached significant word count milestones:

1 million words read this term: Nick Berman 7A
2 million words read this term: Lilia Prowse 7E

The latest AR standings are shown below. While the positions at the top of each table remain the same, there were some great reading performances lower down the tables last week. 7R moved up from 5th to 4th with a solid 183 point gain. 8S also moved from 5th to 4th last week as a result of some very accurate quizzing. We should also mention Seth Cooper in 7S who passed four quizzes last week (including three on Harry Potter books) and earned an amazing 108 points for his form!
