Learning bags and library
Don't forget to bring your learning bag every day. The children will be changing books regularly and this will be recorded in their home/school reading diary. Children can also borrow books from our class library to share at home. Books will be changed after the children have been heard ready in class.
Please read with your child as often as you can - it is the most helpful way to support their learning.
In Autumn children will read 1:1 with an adult during the week. We will then build up to guided reading sessions with Mr Shields.
Library Day is Tuesday
