Scoil Mochua Readathon 2020
January 27th - March 6th
In order to promote reading during the Readathon, while at the same time encouraging recycling,
the Parents’ Association, supported by our Student Council, are organising a series of second-hand
book sales. If you have children’s books at home that you are finished with, this is an ideal opportunity
for them to go to a new home. Please send them in to school with your child. We will collect them and
organise the book sales throughout the Readathon. All books will sell for 50c. Please ensure books are
in good condition. Many thanks to the PA for organising this wonderful initiative.
During the course of the Readathon, the children will engage in a variety of reading activities
including: buddy reading, writing book reports and reviews, dramatising scenes from novels, library
visits, participating in workshops with authors, dressing up as a book character and much more. Please
continue to promote reading at home as it will benefit your child in so many ways.
