Spring Term 3

It is lovely to welcome the children back after their break. I trust you all had a happy and healthy Christmas and New Year. A big ‘thank you’ to all parents for the support received throughout the Nativity performance of The Angel who Nearly Missed it All. I am sure you will agree, the children all worked so hard to learn the lines and the songs. Who would know that we had two wonderful and confident soloists in Badger class! Well done everyone.

teach your monster to read

In order to support children’s reading whilst at home, when your child has completed a book, there are some activities they could do to support their comprehension skills for example, design a new front cover, write a book review, write a different ending to the story, write questions or even write their own questions for another member of the family to answer after they too have read the book. Spot compound words and make a list or even add some of their own.
