Reading Clubs at the academy
Fred Club
Fred Club is a fun phonics club that runs weekly after school. All Year One children and selected Year Two children are invited to Fred Club.
Fred Club provides the children with additional opportunities to learn and practise their phonics through fun games and activities, led by teachers. There are also opportunities for individual teaching at Fred Club.
If you would like any additional information or would like your child to attend Fred Club, please see Mrs J Mell.
Golden Book Club
Tuesdays 3.25pm to 4.15pm
At Parkwood, we run a unique Golden Book Club for selected children in Years 3 and 4. Eight children in school are chosen to take part in Golden Book Club and received their Golden Ticket invitations in assembly.
The Golden book club is a weekly fun session of things to make and do, storytelling and books to loan. Golden Book Club is part of the North Lincolnshire Words Count Project and it is aimed at increasing the PLEASURE in reading.
Reading for pleasure raises the levels of reading and writing. There is evidence to suggest that there is a positive link between the amount of reading a child does, including reading for enjoyment, and how well they do at school.
The book club is run by Mrs J. Mell and Book Club Leaders. It is supported by Sarah Tipler from the Local Authority.
For more information, please do not hesitate to contact Mrs J Mell or visit the following website – which has a short video, presented by Sarah Tipler, explaining the benefits of Golden Book Club..
