Reading and writing
Reading over the year takes many forms. Sometimes it is a shared book, or reading school journals (doing the plays is a favourite), SRA and individual reading books. Often the emphasis is on answering comprehension questions and building up their vocabulary. For book week we worked on producing a diarama showing one of their favourite books.Click here to view the Diaramas done by the class
