Dear parents,

This half term Year 3 and Year 4 will be taking part in the ‘Reading the Game’ programme with Shrewsbury Town in the Community. The programme captures the motivational power of football and sport to inspire young people to read more and improve their English skills. It delivers the statutory requirements of the new national curriculum.

‘Reading The Game’ is a 6 week (12 hour) programme starting Thursday 19th April. Each session is split, half classroom based and half practical based. Classroom sessions are teacher led using STFC resources and supported by STFC coaches and volunteers. Practical sessions are led by sport teachers or afPE qualified coaches.

Subject to availability, the class will receive a player visit and a visit from Lenny the Lion – Shrewsbury Town’s official mascot.

Each pupil will be given a Lenny log book, an opportunity to win free tickets to a Shrewsbury Town match and a completion certificate.

Mr Langford
