The National Readathon 2025! 

Back by popular demand, we are yet again hosting the National Readathon! At Hucknall National Primary School, we do not believe in celebrating just one day on World Book Day but use the whole of the Spring 2 term to encourage the enjoyment of reading and reading habits for life.  We have had a fantastic time celebrating reading with a Book Swap, Breakfast Bookfest, Book Bake Off, a Reading Cafe, as well as the Masked Reader and World Book Day. Thank you so much to everyone that has donated and supported us throughout the Readathon; we are able to use that money to go directly back into creating more resources and opportunities to get our children reading!

Book Cafe 2025

Thank you for all the donations of books we have had for the Book Swap. We had so many left over that we had enough to share at the Book Cafe too! The Book Cafe took place after school and children were invited to attend with an adult to enjoy some cake, a drink and to enjoy a book together. Pupils were also able to take home as many books as they wanted for free! 

Thank you so much if you were able to join us for this lovely event.

Book Jam 2025

All of Key Stage 2 have completed a book rap battle in assembly today. Their challenge was to take inspiration from their reading and rap about their favourite books. Year 6 Falcon Class were the overall winners of the battle (judged by Year 2 and EYFS) but all the competitors put in a very good effort and performance. Well done!

The National Readathon 2024!

The National Readathon 2023! 

To celebrate World Book Day, we had a week-long celebration of all things Reading! We had a Book Bake Off with a Mad Hatters Tea Party, Bedtime Story, the Masked Reader competition, Breakfast Bookfest and a Book Swap. As well as this, we had a fun-filled day of reading activities for World Book Day where the children were given the opportunity to dress up as their favourite book character. Take a look at the fun we had below!
