Home Reading
Reading with your child each night is the most important way you can help and support your child with their learning. Reading is a vital skill for children to master. If a child cannot read confidently, it can negatively impact their learning in every subject.
Your child will bring home a reading book every night. Please support your child by listening to them read regularly.
Your child does not need to read a whole book every night. Instead, spend around 10 minutes reading a few pages and asking your child questions about what they have read to check that they have understood it. Reading is not just about recognising the words on the page – it is being able to describe what has happened and why. There are often questions in the front or back of a reading scheme book to help you with this.
Please support your child by listening to them read as often as possible. Don’t forget to sign your child’s reading record book to confirm that your child has read and add a comment too.

Year 6 Assessments (SATs) Congratulations to the children for all their efforts in last week’s tests. Whatever the results, they all worked hard and their attitude to the tests was excellent. They will continue to work hard during the remainder of this term to make sure that they are fully prepared for high school. |

Y5 Residential - Winmarleigh Hall
The children who took part in the residential at Winmarleigh Hall last week all had an amazing time! Their behaviour throughout the three days was exemplary and they represented the school superbly. Well done children! I’d like to thank Mrs Minoprio-Nicholson and Mr Woodward for giving up so much of their time to accompany the children and make this experience possible.
