Reading every night (10 minutes)

At our small, friendly village school, we truly believe in the power of reading. We are proud to be ‘Leading in Reading,’ where every child is encouraged to dive into books and get lost in the world of stories. We are delighted that many of our pupils go on to receive awards at County level for their creative writing, which all starts with the love of books. Research shows that early reading not only boosts vocabulary and comprehension but also enhances creativity and critical thinking skills. By fostering a love of reading, we help our children build confidence, expand their imaginations, and lay the foundation for lifelong learning. We also know that reading together at home with parents plays a crucial role in this journey—sharing stories, discussing plots, and exploring new words all help to deepen understanding and strengthen the bond between parent and child. In our school, every book is an adventure, and we’re excited to guide your child on their reading journey, both in school and at home!

This might take a little help from an adult. We will be tasting food blindfolded. You have to guess what food you have tasted. Can you make a table to collect all of your data. What did I eat? What did I think I was eating? Did I like it?

We are trying sausages, cheese, orange juice, starbursts and watermelon.

PSHE:

At the moment we are looking at community. I would like you to think about what you miss most about school and how learning at home is different. What if we had to do this everyday?

Our school badge represents our community. What can you see on it?

Could you design your own badge that represents your home school?
