Reading

Children will have a reading book chosen by themselves appropriate to their reading level. Accompanying these books are their reading diaries, where you can write comments on their reading daily. Your child will also be given many opportunities    throughout the week to read a variety of texts. The children also choose a book from our reading corner.

The Wind in The Willows The half term begins with a crime to solve! The children will be using their detective skills. We will be learning about Mr. Toad’s, Ratty’s Badger’s and Moles’ adventures. We will be developing our skills using noun phrases, verbs, subordination, coordination and different types of sentences. How exciting!

PE

Thursday. PE kits are to remain in school.

SNACK 

It is important to note your child can bring a healthy snack at break times such as fruit or vegetables and milk.  We also encourage your child to bring water to drink in class throughout the day, but they may bring something else to drink with their packed lunch. 

The pupils can bring their own bottle of water each day.
