Reading
In order to maximise progress, children should read at home for at least 20 minutes every day. Please ensure that the Reading Records are kept up to date with comments on your child's reading.
Children are expected to take a quiz on Accelerated Reader once they have finished reading their book

Please note: We will keep our windows open during the day for ventilation, so it may become a bit chilly at times. Please can I advise that children have layers e.g. vest under shirt and a jumper, to keep them more comfortable in the classroom as it becomes colder.
I am really looking forward to working with you and your children.
Best Wishes,
Mrs Harris xxx
