  Sun 15 Nov 2015

  Congratulations to Heidi in year 2 who is the first winner of one of our Red Teds. Remember, Red Ted stands for Read Every Day, Talk Every Day. Each child receives a sticker on their book mark when they read at home in the evening and Heidi is the first child to collect 50 stickers. She can now read to her new Red Ted and earn additional stickers and win some new books.

   

  Well done, Heidi. Who will be next to own a Red Ted? You?
