ReadinG In Y3

Every Friday without fail, Year 3 visit the school library. Today, with the glorious weather, we took our books out onto the grassy bank and had a lovely summer reading session. We hope to do this lots more during the second half of summer term.

Book Explorers

We have lots of lovely little corners where children can relax with a good book. Come to the fair on Saturday if you’d like to pick up some books and toys for your little readers!

Reading in Preschool

We have lots of fabulous books and are on the look out for some more that are either just picture books or have hardly any or no words in them. If you have some books like this that your children have grown out of, we’d greatly appreciate them. Just drop them off at our door!

We love World Book Day!

How we read in Reception using Read Write Inc.

Here are some videos of us reading our red ditty books and our paper ditties. We hope you find them useful in aiding your child’s daily reading at home.

Poetry in Year 4

We spent the last couple of weeks of term focusing on poetry – listening to it, performing it, discussing it and, most importantly, enjoying it! Revelling in the fact that you can ‘bend the rules’ with poetry, which allows you more freedom of expression, we spent many a lesson coming up with fantastic ways to […]
