Reading

We have introduced two new Reading displays and initiatives into our classroom this half term, ‘Bookflix’ and ‘Read all about it’. There are a fantastic, new selection of books for the children to choose from, read and enjoy. When children have finished a book, we will be writing reviews on our very own Twitter board and sharing them with real authors on Twitter – who will hopefully reply to us!
