What a lovely few days of weather we have had! Please remember to prepare for the weather with sunhats and sun cream as the weather warms up but be prepared for colder and rainier days with a coat! Also please ensure your child brings their Accelerated Reader book AND their reading record into school EVERY day. A book of their choice is also needed for our free reading times. This can include annuals, comics, newspapers and magazines, etc. as well as their choice of fiction and nonfiction books. 

Reading for Pleasure
Please share as many stories and different nonfiction books as you can at home. It gives your children the opportunity to use their imagination to explore new ideas, visit new places and meet new characters. Interestingly, reading for pleasure also improves children's well-being and empathy. It helps them to understand their own identity, and gives them an insight into the world and the views of others.

Newspapers
