Extreme Reading Photograph Competition
In 2015 the school held an extreme reading photo competition. As part of this year’s book week, we are running the photo competition again. The challenge is to have a photo of your child, or the whole family, reading a book in an unusual or ‘extreme’ situation. It could be related to the theme of book week or just an extreme situation. Book weeks isn’t until Term 3, August 23, but we wanted to give you plenty of time, including the next holiday break, to capture something. The Theme for this year is ‘Old Worlds, New Worlds, Other Worlds’
Please save the photo in the following format: ‘Firstname Lastname Cabin X’ to Google Drive
The deadline for uploading pictures is Monday 23 August. If you have any questions please contact Chris Smith.
This link to pictures from the last competition may give you some ideas!
