Thank you for your continued support with our home learning!
Reading
Daily reading plays a vital role in your child's development. Please support your child by encouraging them to read as part of their regular home routine. It is very important that all children read every day. This could be your child reading independently or reading with a friend/family member. If you would like some more ideas for books and stories, please find some ideas here. Miss Al-Mosawi and Mr Chambers check Reading Records at the door every morning. Currently, Amber class are beating Saffron class with their signed Reading Records!
