The Golden Ticket

This year we are launching our Portway Year of Reading and we have lots of ideas about how we might encourage reading and reading activities.

So we are also launching our ‘Golden Ticket’ scheme to encourage children to read at home. Research is very clear that children who read at home regularly with parents do much better academically. So this term all children who have read at home at least 4 times by Friday every week, and have had their diary signed by their parent/guardian, will be given a Golden Ticket (which looks a little like a yellow raffle ticket)!  The name of the pupil is written on the ticket and placed in the year group ‘Golden Box’, which is brought to assembly.

During the assembly 3 golden tickets are drawn from each year group’s box and these children can choose a book from ‘The Golden Book Case’ to take home and keep forever!

Who will get the Golden Ticket?! See our lucky winners below!
