We are very excited to announce our school will be participating, for the second time, in the 2018-2019 Battle of the Books Competition. The competition will include other schools in the Elk Island Public Schools district.
Battle of the Books is a reading club for grades 4, 5 and 6 that encourages and recognizes students who enjoy reading. Students read six novels carefully selected for each grade group featuring a wide range of genres, themes and authors. They read the books at their own pace, discuss them, quiz each other on the contents and compete to correctly answer questions based on the books. The questions all begin with “In what book…” so that the answer will always be the title of the book.
In the spring, a district wide Battle of the Books Competition will be held at Fultonvale Elementary Junior High School, culminating in students competing to be crowned Battle Champions.
There are multiple copies of the Battle Books available for checkout in the Woodbridge Farms library. Alternatively, students may wish to borrow them from the public library.
For any students interested or to answer any questions, please contact Mrs Sargeant in the library.
