Reading

The children should be reading daily and it should be recorded in their reading record. Daily reading to an adult is so important and has a huge impact on the progress they make with their reading. Reading books will be changed approx. 3 times per week. The children are welcome to bring in their favourite book to enjoy during guided reading. Please remember to number the days that the children read so that they can work towards earning certificates.

Library

We will visit the library once per week. Children will only be able to take out a new book if they return their current one.

1P – Friday, 1J - Friday
