Please ensure that your child is regularly:

• Reading: Remember 15-20 minutes reading to an adult every day is the optimum and should be continuing into Year 6. Please also encourage your child to read by themselves and then discuss the text afterwards, sharing opinions, their favourite part, or questioning what happened to ensure that your child is understanding the text as well as reading it. All children have a Reading record to take home so please make sure these are written in.

• TTRS/Sumdog - lots of practice on these amazing programmes that complement what we learn at school. Please see your reading diaries for login details

We hope that you have a wonderful weekend and the sun comes out!

Mrs. Hurley, Mr. Greenfield and Miss Harvey
