Daily Reading
Reading is an essential life skill and one that we seek to constantly develop and refine, whilst instilling a genuine love and sense of enjoyment from this activity.
During this period of school closure, I will expect pupils to undertake some daily reading. In order to support this, I will be uploading an ebook for pupils to access each week. In addition to this, the list of '100 books to read before you leave Year 4' are listed as a link on the main page.

I have something different for you this week!
'First News is a weekly newspaper aimed at 7 to 14-year-olds that aims to get kids talking about the news in an easy to understand and non-threatening way.
We cover issues which are relevant to children and which specifically affect them. Inside you’ll find a mix of world news and UK news, but also loads of fun stuff, such as entertainment, games, animals, sport and puzzles.
Children and parents love the bright, colourful format and fascinating pictures that support the stories. The articles are just the right length to keep children’s attention. And it looks like a newspaper – this goes down really well with kids!'
