Reading Rocks! After the success of the many events scheduled to celebrate National Sto-rytelling Week last week, this week we have introduced some new and exciting initiatives for the Reading Rocks festival which may also help to
keep you occupied over the half term break.
Big Book Swap - Start looking through your book collection for books which you no longer read or would like to swap for a new title at our Book
Swap event on World Book Day (Thursday 5th March)
Get Caught Reading photo competition - Have someone take a pic-
ture of you in a strange or interesting place while reading a book then email it to [email protected] to enter the competition and have your
photo displayed somewhere around the school.
Book Character Assembly - Our annual event will be held this year on World Book Day
which is Thursday 5th March. Start getting your costume bits together! Idea: Try to team up with other students in your class to come as the cast of characters from the same book. Cost-effective and time-saving costume ideas can be found at http://www.theschoolrun.com/12

Brent Maths Competition
Miss Hodgeson writes: This week the Swaminarayan School hosted the Brent Local School’s Maths Competition for Year 5 and 6 children.
We had 5 other local schools participate in the event; Stonebridge Primary, Brentfield Primary, Leopold Primary, oakington Primary and
Gladstone Park Primary. Two teams of 5 were entered from each school. There were 3 challenges for the children to take part in: a logic
challenge, a team challenge and a relay challenge. The winning team was the team that accumulated the most points across all 3 chal-
lenges. Both of our teams scored well and enjoyed the morning. We would like to congratulate The Swaminarayan School Team 2 for be-
ing awarded 3rd place.
