On Tuesday 31st March Peatmoor Primary School held their termly reading incentive. This encouraged children from Reception to Year 6 to read four times a week for ten weeks.

The reward for reading was a workout on a bouncy castle. Over 175 children took part on the bouncy slide and had a fantastic time! Daniel in Year 1 said : ‘I was very excited about having a go on the slide’ and Jack in Year 2 said: I had lots of fun and would love to do it again!’ The children had a great time and many hope that they will be able to do it again soon.

Mr. Watermeyer the Y6 teacher felt that the incentive was a great idea in encouraging children to develop an independence and love of reading.
