Thank you to all the families who entered the 2013 Scrapbook Competition. It has been a pleasure to look at the scrapbooks and fantastic to see all the different ways families have taken part – some at home together, some separated by deployments, some with extended family, some with one parent and child – and all completed with effort and creativity.
Every scrapbook will soon be returned to families, along with a certificate and free book. Congratulations to everyone for taking part. We are pleased to say that many of you have won a prize! Details of your prize will be included in your letter.
We were also impressed by the broad range of books read – from much loved classics such as Roald Dahl’s The Twits, Charles Dickens’ Tale of Two Cities, Maurice Sendak’s Where the Wild Things are, to newer titles such as Andy McNab’s The New Recruit, Peppa Pig, Anna Wilson’s Nina Fairy Ballerina, and Jillian Powell’s Spies and Gadgets.
We loved the photographs of your reading groups reading in different places, whether you were at the library or away on holiday, and all the wonderful drawings which featured in many of the scrapbooks. We seem to have a lot of brilliant artists taking part in Reading Force! With participants’ permission we will soon put some of the scrapbook pages online in our gallery.
Many of you wrote in your scrapbooks that you ‘love doing Reading Force’ and that you had a lot of fun doing so. Please tell your friends about it as Reading Force 2014 is starting this January. And we hope that all those who took part this year will take part again next year!
