Important Information

Please ensure your child's book bag, reading record and reading books are in school every day

We have Parent Reading every Monday between 8.50am - 9.10am, why not come along and read with your child.

Please aim to read 5 times a week as your child's reading experience is much more than the reading book which comes home from school. Reading is happening all the time in a classroom and in the school. It is taught in phonics, specific reading and English lessons, but children are practising and using their 'reading' constantly across all subjects too.

Parents can support this 'reading journey' through regular reading at home. Reading to and with your child every evening for at least ten minutes can make a dramatic difference to a child's achievement within school. A report from the Oxford University Press highlighted the importance of parents reading with their children. 'Children who read outside of class are 13 times more likely to read above the expected level for their age'.

The report also offers six tips for reading with your child at home, including:

1. Make time to read- even ten minutes a day

2. Choose different types of books

3. Take turns to read

4. Talk about the book- asking your child questions

5. Pay attention to the language

6. Enjoy reading

P.E: Monday

Please ensure your child is dressed and ready for PE on arrival to school

Homework: Will be sent home every day
