Last Thursday, pupils from St Columb Minor Academy celebrated their annual 'Millionaire Day'. Those who had read a staggering 1 million words through the schools' Accelerated Reader programme were recognised by getting to wear their own clothes for the day and receiving a £5 book voucher. Although the celebrations looked a bit different this year; children and parents at home, as well as those in school, joined a special assembly to celebrate these fantastic achievements and the enjoyment children find in reading. All the teachers and staff were immensely proud of all of them. A special mention also goes to Ethan who became the first ever child to read 10 million words in his time at Blue School. A truly staggering achievement! 👏🏻👏🏻😀👍🏻 @renlearnuk #acceleratedreader #lovereading #lovereadingbooks #blueschooltr7 #tenmillionwords #millionaireday #kernowlearningacademies #cornishschools
