Reading Books:

I have stocked our reading area with new and engaging books from the Cheshire Education Library. These books will be used to bolster our ‘banded reading book’ stock. It is important to note that not all these books have a coloured sticker that refers to their ‘level’ on them. These books must come into school daily as books that are lost can potentially jeopardise future borrowing.

Homework:

• Times Table Rockstars – 15 games on the garage mode. The children are all practising the 5-times tables.  
• Reading comprehension – a short poem about volcanoes with 5 follow-up questions.
• Reading with an adult 5 x weekly
