Easter Holiday Reading
Next term, the children will be writing a non-chronological report about their chosen “specialist subject". In our class, these subjects will no doubt include rabbits, trains, football, horses, art, dance, dogs and many more!
Over the Easter holidays, please encourage your child to read, watch, and learn as much as they can about a topic which they are passionate about. By the time we return to school, they should be ready to share their knowledge and write confidently on something they are truly enthusiastic about.
We look forward to seeing our class become true experts in their specialist subjects!
Please sign your child’s red reading record each day to confirm they have completed 30 minutes of reading.
This helps us to build a regular reading routine and celebrate progress.
