Reading 

Reading books will be sent home each WEDNESDAY and are to be returned on MONDAY in order for them to be changed.

Please encourage your child to develop good reading habits by reading for 10 minutes every day.

Before reading the story, if the book contains Speed Sounds, Green and Red words which form part of our Read, Write Inc Scheme, then please focus on these first.

Speedy words are also at the back of the book for children to practise.

Whilst your child reads, ask questions about the story / characters to develop comprehension skills. Pupils should read a variety of texts including fiction and non-fiction, and joining the local library will offer a wider range of books.

We all helped to make mindfulness bottles. We really enjoyed looking at the colour changes and the glitter!
