Homework

Reading

Children are expected to read as often as possible. Each time your child brings their reading diary into school and it has been signed by an adult at home, they will receive reading points. The class with the most points will be announced in Friday assembly and will be rewarded with extra break time!

Remember - the more times you read, the more chances you will have!
